The highlighted evidence outcomes are the priority for all students, serving as the essential concepts and skills. It is recommended that the remaining evidence outcomes listed be addressed as time allows, representing the full breadth of the curriculum.
Students Can (Evidence Outcomes):
4.MD.B. Measurement & Data: Represent and interpret data.
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. (CCSS: 4.MD.B.4)
Read and represent measurements recorded on line plots. (Professional Skills: Information Literacy)
Use a line plot to represent measurement data and to calculate measurement sums and differences. (MP5)
Inquiry Questions
Why is it helpful to organize data in line plots?
When might you see fractions in real-world data?
Why is it important to establish the whole when plotting fractions on a line plot?
How do labels help the reader determine the size of the numbers represented in a line plot?
Coherence Connections
This expectation supports the major work of the grade.
In Grade 3, students represent and interpret data using picture graphs and scaled bar graphs.
In Grade 4, this expectation connects with building fractions from unit fractions.
In Grade 5, students represent and interpret data with line plots and solve problems using fractional measurements and all four operations.
Academic Vocabulary & Language Expectations:
