Common Core Math · Grade 4
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.
Why water teaches this standard well
Students record a month of rainfall measured to the nearest eighth of an inch on a line plot, then find the difference between the wettest and driest day recorded. Working in eighths of an inch matches the precision printed on many home rain gauges.
