Understanding fractions

PROCEDURAL
MathematicsData & Statistics|Ages 10—11|ID: mt_IHipFGTFEY

Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8); use operations on fractions to solve problems involving data in line plots (e.g. redistribute total equally)

Mastery Evidence

  • Create a line plot showing lengths measured to the nearest 1/8 inch
  • Use the line plot to find the total of all measurements by adding fractions
  • Solve: 'If the total liquid were redistributed equally among all beakers, how much would each have?'

Assessment Prompt

“If [child] measured the lengths of several objects to the nearest quarter or eighth of an inch and plotted them on a number line, could they use those measurements to work out totals or share amounts equally?”
