Suitable for Grades: 4th Grade, 5th Grade
CCSS: 4.MD.B.4, 5.MD.B.2
CCSS Description: 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.
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 for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally
This worksheet focuses on developing students' ability to draw and interpret line graphs.
The first question requires students to select the most suitable line graph that accurately represents the data provided in a table. They must then justify their choice by explaining the reasoning behind their decision.
Over the remaining questions, learners will complete a line graph, draw their own, including labeling the axes too, and look for errors in a line graph.
This worksheet provides a comprehensive introduction to drawing and interpreting line graphs while offering opportunities for critical analysis and applied skills."
