 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Concept/skill: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

Now, does the problem or activity shown below enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36), ...
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students create a line plot using the measurement data that they generated earlier and display their group’s line plot for all to see.
Encourage students to plan their line plot using the blank line in the activity statement before creating a poster version for display in a gallery walk. A template for a larger line plot is provided in the blackline master. Students can join the number lines on two copies of the blackline master to create a longer number line.
[IMG]
As students visit others’ data displays, they consider how the line plots are alike and how they are different, as well as why different scales might have been chosen for different objects measured.
Representation: Access for Perception.
Synthesis: Use gestures during the explanation of the line plot to emphasize important aspects of the line plot.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Attention

Let's Make a Line Plot
Launch
Groups of 4
“Look at the data your group collected. What do you need to know to make a line plot that represents the data?” (The longest and shortest measurements. Whether the lengths are whole numbers or include halves and fourths of an inch.)
1 minute: group discussion
Share responses.
Give each group 2 copies of the blackline master, scissors, glue or tape, and tools for creating a visual display.
Activity
“Work with your group to create a line plot that represents your data. You will share your line plot with the class later.”
“You can use the blank number line on your page to plan your line plot before creating a final one to display.”
Consider asking:
“How do you plan to make the scale for the line plot so that it can show all your measurements?”
“What information or labels could be included to help others understand your line plot?”
Demonstrate how to join and tape (or glue) the 2 copies of the blackline master to make a large line plot.
“After you complete your final line plot, tape (or glue) your line plot on a poster.”
12–15 minutes: group work time
Student Facing
Create a line plot to represent the measurement data you collected. You will display and share your line plot with your class later.
You can use the blank number line here for your draft. Think about:
how to label the tick marks so that all the measurements are included
details to help others understand the data you collected
