Bottle Levels After PE at Alder Park: A Grade 2 Line Plot
Second graders measure the water left in ten bottles after PE at Alder Park School, build a centimeter line plot, and read what the class drank.
Common Core Math · Grade 2
2.MD.D.9 Make a line plot of measurement data
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of several objects to the nearest whole unit, or by making repeated measurements of the same object. Show the measurements by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in whole-number units.
Why water teaches this standard well
Students measure the depth of rainfall collected in a rain gauge each day for two weeks to the nearest inch, then plot every reading on a line plot to see which depths occurred most often. This is a student's first real rainfall record, the same kind of data a hydrologist tracks over a season.
Materials tagged with this code are written to the full standard , and each carries a written note explaining the alignment. See how we review materials.
