What kids practice
In 4th grade, students made line plots with fractions and added and subtracted to answer questions. Now they use more of what they know about fractions. They multiply a value by how many times it shows up, add everything to find a total, and divide the total to find what each item would get if it were all shared equally.
Watch for
- Adding the fractions on the number line instead of the values of the X's.
- Missing an item when plotting a list.
- Forgetting to multiply when a value has more than one X.
- Dividing by the wrong number when sharing equally.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full line plots guide for 5th grade.
