3. Draw and label a number line

4. put a dot above the number on your number line that coressponds with the smallest value

5. and do the same and put 3 more dots that corespond to Q1, Q3, and your largest value above your number line

6. Connect the dot for the lowest value to the Q1 dot

7. Connect the dot for Q3 to the dot for the largest value

8. Now Make a rectangle in the space in between Q1 and Q3
