Description
Our Line Plots and Fractions lesson plan teaches students how to plot fractions on line plots. During this lesson, students are asked to complete an activity in which they cut a piece of ribbon, measure it, and then add that measurement to a class line plot, which they then answer questions about. Students are also asked to look at a data set of fractions and plot each on a line plot before answering questions about it and the distribution of fractions on the line plot, demonstrating their ability to create a line plot and then analyze it.
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to make a line plot to display data in fractions of a unit and analyze the data on the line plot.
