Excerpt 7: Measurement Data in Grades 4, 5, and Beyond (Pages 11-12)

Description: One of a series of documents describing the progression of a topic across several grade levels, informed both by research on children's development and by the structure of mathematics. Students can use these skills to solve problems, including problems that arise from analyzing line plots. For example, with reference to the line plot, students might find the difference between the greatest and least values in the data. Grade 5 students grow in their skill and understanding of fraction arithmetic, including multiplying a fraction by a fraction.
