In this Grade 4 lesson from enVision Mathematics Chapter 11, students learn how to make a line plot to represent data sets that include whole numbers and fractions such as halves, fourths, and eighths. Students practice choosing an appropriate scale, drawing a number line, and plotting data points using real-world contexts like shoe sizes and pencil lengths. The lesson also builds skills in reading and interpreting line plots to identify the most frequently occurring values.
Section 1
Creating a Line Plot with Fractional Data
To create a line plot from a data set, first draw a horizontal number line that spans the range of the data (from minimum to maximum value).
Determine an appropriate fractional scale (e.g., halves, fourths, eighths) by finding a common denominator for the data points.
Title the plot, label the number line, and then plot each data point by placing an 'X' above its corresponding value on the number line.
