Grade 4 Measurement and Data

4.MD.4

Full Standard

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 the 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.

Learning Targets

  • Create a line plot with fractions.
  • Use line plots with fractions to answer addition and subtraction problems.

 

About the Math

 

A line plot is a simple way to organize data. To construct a line plot, draw a number line showing each possible value. The values can be whole numbers or fractions. Place an X at the appropriate spot above the number line for each value. Essential vocabulary for this standard includes: line plot and data.
