Critical Thinking: Analyze and interpret data from line plots.
Responsibility: Manage and represent data accurately.
Learner’s Mindset: Engage with feedback to improve understanding of fractions and data representation.
How do line plots help us visualize data?
In what ways can addition and subtraction of fractions be applied to data in line plots?
How can we interpret differences in data through line plots?
Students will be able to create a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit.
Students will demonstrate the ability to solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information from line plots.
Students will interpret and analyze the difference in length between various data points represented in a line plot.
4.MD.B.4
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots. For example, from a line plot find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest specimens in an insect collection.
