Lesson/Unit Plan

Overview:

In this lesson, students will measure and compare pencil lengths to the nearest 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 of an inch and analyze the data through line plots.

Content Standard(s):

Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: 5

16. Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (¹/₂, ¹/₄, ¹/₈).

a. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions to solve problems involving information presented in line plots.

Note: Division is limited to unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.

Fraction intervals

Knowledge:

Students know:

Strategies to equipartition a length model.
Measurement in units of halves, fourths, and eighths using a tool for standard units of measure.
Strategies to solve problems using the four operations with fractions.

Skills:

Students are able to:

Create a line plot with appropriate intervals.
Represent data on a line plot.
Apply strategies for solving problems involving all four operations with the fractional data.

Understanding:

Students understand that:

mathematical data can be collected, analyzed, and organized in a data display to solve problems involving the data.

Diverse Learning Needs:

Essential Skills:

Learning Objectives:
M.5.16.1: Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit.
M.5.16.2: Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots.
M.5.16.3: Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories.
M.5.16.4: Solve one- and two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs.
M.5.16.5: Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories.
M.5.16.6: Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.

Prior Knowledge Skills:

Recall the meaning of a fraction as part of a whole.
Identify the location of a fraction on a number line.
Compare fractions by finding common denominators.
Find an unkinown value to complete a number sentence.
