problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students create a line plot using measurements to the nearest
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
and
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
inch. This task prompts students to use their understanding of fraction equivalence to plot and partition the horizontal axis.
Representation: Access for Perception.
Provide access to fraction strips that show fourths and eighths, and invite students to use them to answer question 4. Ask students to identify correspondences between the fraction strips and the horizontal axis of the line plot.

“The table lists many different lengths.”
“What do you notice about the pencil lengths?” (Sample responses:
Some repeat more than one time.
The numbers are mixed numbers.
There are no whole numbers.)

“There are some lengths that are more common or occur more often than others.”
“Tell a partner the length that is most common.” (

Andre’s class measured the length of some colored pencils to the nearest
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
inch. The data are shown here:
\(1\frac{3}{4}\)
\(2\frac{1}{4}\)
\(5\frac{1}{4}\)
\(5\frac{1}{4}\)
\(4\frac{2}{4}\)
\(4\frac{2}{4}\)
\(6\frac{1}{4}\)
\(6\frac{3}{4}\)

Plot the colored-pencil data on the line plot.

Which colored-pencil length is the most common in the data set?
Write 2 new questions that could be answered using the line plot data.
Next, Andre’s class measured their colored pencils to the nearest
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
inch. The data are shown here:
\(1\frac{6}{8}\)
\(2\frac{2}{8}\)
\(5\frac{2}{8}\)
\(5\frac{3}{8}\)
\(4\frac{4}{8}\)
\(4\frac{4}{8}\)

Plot the colored-pencil data on the line plot.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not yet identify “most common” length as the length with the most data points on the line plot, consider asking: “Which measurement occurred more often than others?” and “Which pencil measurement was plotted most often?”
Activity Synthesis
“How many colored pencils were measured in Andre’s class?” (10, because there were ten data points and each represented a pencil that was measured.)
“What was the most common measurement in the first set of data? In the second set of data?” (In the first set of data:
\(6\frac{3}{4}\)
inches. In the second set of data:
\(6\frac{6}{8}\)
inches.)
“How did you use equivalence to help as you plotted measurement data in eighths of an inch?” (I know that two eighths are equivalent to one fourth and this helped to find eighths on the line plots.)
Use the line plot image to clearly label
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
,
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
and
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
with help from students.
