Formative Instructional and Assessment Tasks
Reading Survey3.MD.4 - Task 1
Domain / Measurement and Data
Cluster / Represent and interpret data.
Standard(s) / 3.MD.4 Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
Materials / Handout, paper, pencils, white boards and dry-erase markers (optional)
Task / Directions for students:
· As a class, have students’ measure blocks in handout and ask them “How wide do you think blocks in the handout are?” They can choose ¼, ½, or ¾. Students should record results on a piece of paper.
· Create a line plot to represent the data.
· Have students write a sentence about an observation that they notice from the line plot.
