Lesson Plans

Line Plotting with Fractions Chicago Pizza Style:

In this lesson, students will be making a line plot and recording fractional data (1/4, 1/2, and 3/4) on their line plot. Students will then use fraction operations to solve problems involving data presented in their line plots.

Type: Lesson Plan

April Showers Bring May Flowers - Line Plots:

In this lesson, students will create a line plot that displays rainfall data.  They will use the data from the line plot to answer questions using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions. Please note that the denominators for the line plot go to eighths.
