    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...

Clarifications

Tasks for this target ask students to make and interpret line plots with fractional units and should be used to provide context for the assessment of 5.NF Target E and 5.NF Target F. Some...

Task Description

Prompt Features: The student is prompted to complete a line plot that displays a given data set. Stimulus Guidelines: Data set includes up to 10 measurements in fractions of a unit (e.g., 1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Item difficulty...

Stimulus

The student is presented with a data set collected from a real-world context.

Example 1

Example Stem: Ten students in a class recorded the distances they ran, in miles, yesterday.

78\frac{7}{8},  34\text{ }\frac{3}{4}, 1,  34\text{ }\frac{3}{4}, 1, 1, 18 \frac{1}{8},  12\text{ }\frac{1}{2},  34\text{ }\frac{3}{4}, 18\frac{1}{ 8}

Select above the tick marks to complete the line plot that displays the data.

A number line labeled Distance in miles is shown ranging from 0 to 1 and one fourth in increments of one eighth.

Rubric: (1 point) The student correctly completes a line plot that displays all 10 data points with no incorrect or missing points (e.g., shown below).

A line plot labeled Distance in miles is shown ranging from 0 to 1 and one fourth in increments of one eighth. One eighth has 2 x's. One half has 1 x. Three fourths has 3 x's. Seven eighths has 1 x. 1 has 3 x's.
