Fourth grade students will represent and interpret data through the use of a line plot.

• line plot • scale

Standard 4.MD.4 Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (halves, quarters, and eighths). Solve problems involving addition and subtraction with like denominators of fractions by using information presented in line plots. For example, use a line plot to find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest pencils in a classroom.

Application Task

4.MD.4

Given the following fractions, create a line plot of the data.

Make a line plot that incudes the following fractions (see below)

Write a story problem that includes the fractions from the data set.

0 1 Students measure objects in their desk to the nearest 1/8, ¼, ½, inch. They will display their data collected on the line plot. How many objects measured ¼ inch? ½ inch? If you put all the objects together end to end what would the total length of ALL the objects? Be prepared to justify why you marked the line plot as
