Math:
This week in math the students will solve real world problems using graphs. They will solve one-and two-step word problems analyzing data in graphs. The students will interpret measurement data from line plots and represent measurement data with line plots.
Example word problem using a line plot to display measurement data:
Katelyn measures the height of her bean plant on Monday and again on Friday. She says that her bean plant grew 10 quarter inches. Her partner records 2 1/2 inches on his growth chart for the week. Is her partner right? Why or why not?
Yes, her partner is right. I drew a ruler divided into quarter inches and know that 10 quarter inches is the same as 2 2/4 inches. I drew another ruler divided into half inches and know that 2 2/4 inches is the same as 2 1/2 inches.
