STANDARDS:
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch.
Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units whole
numbers, halves, or quarters.
THEME: Math
LESSON TOPIC:
Measuring to the nearest fourth of an inch.

OBJECTIVES:
Content:
Language:
Students will read and interpret data in a line plot Students will correctly use the terms line plot, and
and use data to make a line plot.
data.

LEARNING STRATEGIES:
Lecture, modeling, partner work, hands on manipulatives
KEY VOCABULARY:
Line plot, data, axis,
MATERIALS:
Pencils, line plot worksheet, elmo
MOTIVATION/ANTICIPATORY SET (Building Background):
Students are on day 4 of learning about line plots. They have previously generated their own data by rolling a
dice and plotting the data on a line plot, they have also taken measurements of objects and plotting the data on
a line plot.
PRESENTATION/INPUT/MODELING (Language & Content Objectives, comprehensible input, strategies,
interaction, feedback):
I do: teacher will model the action of measuring a pencil to the nearest of an inch and plotting the data on a
line plot.
We do: Students will work with their own pencils while the teacher models step by step of measuring the
pencils.

PRACTICE/APPLICATION (meaningful activities, interaction, strategies, feedback):

You do: Students will work with partners and measure 8 pencils and plotting the data on the line plot. Teacher
will circulate the room and provide immediate feedback and assistance to the students that are struggling or
receive accommodations/services in Math.

REVIEW/ASSESSMENT (review objectives and vocabulary, assess learning):

Teacher will analyze the line plots for accuracy. Teacher will assess the students usage of vocabulary through
conversations.

EXTENSION:
Students who complete their assignment ahead of time will also complete the To the nearest and inch
enrichment worksheet.
