Math Grade 5 Quiz Making Line Plots and Understanding Fractions – 5.MD.B.2

The focus of this standard is on the visual representation of data using line plots. Students learn to plot data that are measured in fractions and to use these plots to solve problems. They work with fractions that typically have denominators of 2, 4, and 8—parts of a whole that are commonly encountered in real life. Through the use of line plots, students analyze the data to perform operations with fractions, such as adding, subtracting, and finding averages, which are essential skills in interpreting and drawing conclusions from data.
