Line Plots (Halves and Quarters): what children learn
A line plot shows measurements on a number line marked in whole inches with marks for halves or quarters. Each X is one measurement, and the mark under it tells how long it is.
Line Plots (Halves and Quarters): worked example
A line plot has 3 Xs above the mark 1/2 inch after 2. How many pencils are 2 1/2 inches long? 3
Each X is one pencil, so 3 Xs mean 3 pencils.
Line Plots (Halves and Quarters): a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes read the whole number nearest to an X and ignore the half or quarter mark.
Line Plots (Halves and Quarters): how to help at home or in class
Hang a string across a doorway with marks labeled in inches and halves, and clip a clothespin above each measurement from a pretend collection of leaves. Ask which length has the most clothespins and how many are longer than two inches. When your child reads the fraction mark under every X, try drawing line plots from a list.
