5.MD.B.2 Solve problems using line plots with fractional data

Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots.

Why water teaches this standard well

Given several beakers holding different fractional amounts of water from a lab activity, students plot the amounts on a line plot and then find how much each beaker would hold if the total were redistributed equally. Redistributing measured water equally is a direct application of the standard's own worked example.
