ACTIVITY

(Math Journal 2, Activity Sheets 5–7)

Draw a number line on the Class Data Pad, and label the benchmarks 0, 1 _ 4 , 1 _ 2 , 3 _ 4 , and 1. Label the line plot Sorting Fraction Cards, the x-axis Fractions, and the y-axis Number of Cards. Place the title, Sorting Fraction Cards, above the number line, allowing enough room for data to be added for a line plot.

Tell students that the number line will be used to create a line plot displaying the results of the equivalent-fraction card sorting activity.

Ask students to share the results of their card sorting and justify their choices as you record the results on the Class Data Pad.

Possible questions to ask include the following:

● How many cards show a fraction equivalent to 1? eight: 2 _ 2 , 3 _ 3 , 4 _ 4 , 5 _ 5 , 6 _ 6 , 8 _ 8 , 10 _ 10 , 16 _ 16

● How do you know these fractions are all equivalent to 1? Sample answers: The front of each of these cards is fully colored. The numerator is equal to the denominator in each fraction.

● How many cards show a fraction equivalent to 1 _ 2 ? seven: 1 _ 2 , 2 _ 4 , 3 _ 6 , 4 _ 8 , 5 _ 10 , 6 _ 12 , 8 _ 16

● How do you know these fractions are all equivalent to 1 _ 2 ? Sample answers: The denominator in each of these fractions is twice the numerator. The number of spaces shaded blue on each of these cards is equal to the number of spaces that are white.

● How many cards show a fraction equivalent to 1 _ 4 ? three: 1 _ 4 , 2 _ 8 , 3 _ 12

● How many cards show a fraction equivalent to 3 _ 4 ? three: 3 _ 4 , 6 _ 8 , 9 _ 12

● How many cards show a fraction equivalent to 0? three: 0 _ 5 , 0 _ 10 , 0 _ 16

Math MessageSort the Fraction Cards to find the cards equivalent to 0, 1

592 Unit 7 Exponents and Negative Numbers

Ask volunteers to label the fractions 1 _ 8 , 3 _ 8 , 5 _ 8 , and 7 _ 8 on the line plot. Ask students to explain their reasoning for the placement of each fraction as it is recorded.

Have students continue to sort the Fraction Cards to find those that are equivalent to the fractions for eighths that were just added to the number line. Continue discussing students’ findings as you complete the line plot. Ask:

● How many cards did you find for each new fraction we marked on the number line? There are 2 cards for each: 1 _ 8 is equal to 2 _ 16 , 3 _ 8 is equal to 6 _ 16 , 5 _ 8 is equal to 10 _ 16 , and 7 _ 8 is equal to 14 _ 16 .

● How can you use the line plot to find the total number of cards sorted? Count all the Xs in the line plot.

▶ Using a Line Plot to

WHOLE-CLASS ACTIVITY

Analyze Data (Student Reference Book, pp.119–121)

Refer students to Student Reference Book, pages 119–121 to review data landmarks, if necessary.

Have students use slates to record information about the data on the Sorting Fraction Cards line plot. Ask students to share their thinking as they analyze the data. As they determine the various landmarks, label them on the line plot on the Class Data Pad.

● Which number on the line plot has the most equivalent fractions? 1 whole, or 1 What do we call the landmark for the value or values that occur with the greatest frequency in a set of data? mode

● What is the maximum value in the set of data? 1 What is the minimum value in the set of data? 0

● What is the range of data displayed on the line plot? 1 How did you find the range? I subtracted the minimum from the maximum: 1 – 0 = 1.

● What is the median? 1 _ 2 How did you find the median? I started at each end and then worked toward the center until I found the middle number.

● How many cards do we have in our data set? 32

● If the blue shading on the cards represents blue liquid in a beaker, for how many beakers do we have data? 32

● What landmark would tell us how much liquid each beaker would have if the liquid were distributed equally among all the beakers? mean

● If you actually had these beakers of liquid, what would you do to distribute the liquid equally among all beakers? Sample answer: I’d pour liquid from the beakers with more liquid into the beakers with less liquid until the liquid levels in all of the beakers were equal.

● How do you find the mean for a set of data? Sample answer: Add all of the data values, and then divide the sum by the number of data values.

Lesson 7�10 593

▶ Finding the Mean PARTNER ACTIVITY

Ask students to work with a partner to find the sum of the data values using various strategies. 18 1 _ 2 Ask students to share their strategy for finding the sum.

Students who need a visual model to find the sum

of the fractions may benefit from using the Fraction Cards.

Have students match cards that together add to a sum

of 1 whole. For example, 7 _ 8 and 1

_ 8 add to 1 whole. Using

this method, all cards except for one of the 1 _ 2 cards has a

“match” to make 1 whole.

A U D I T O R Y � K I N E S T H E T I C � T A C T I L E � V I S U A L

Students then use a calculator to find the mean of the set of data. Students may convert 18 1 _ 2 to a decimal and then use the calculator to divide the sum by 32 to find the mean. Ask students to round the quotient in the calculator display to the nearest hundredth. 18.5 / 32 = 0.578125, or about 0.58 Ask:

● Between which two fractions on your line plot does 0.58 fall? Between 1 _ 2 and 5 _ 8

● Which fraction on your line plot is 0.58 closest to? How do you know? Sample answer: 0.58 is closest to 5 _ 8 because 5 _ 8 = 0.625, and 0.625 - 0.58 = 0.045. This is less than the distance between 0.58 and 0.5, which is 0.08.

Students then use estimation to determine an approximate placement on the line plot for the mean of the set of data.

Students who need a visual model to estimate the placement of the

mean on the line plot may benefit from referring to the Probability Meter Poster.

After determining the approximate location of the decimal on the decimal side

of the probability meter, students look on the opposite side of the meter to

determine the fraction that is closest to the one found on the line plot. Students

should notice that 0.58 is greater than 0.5 and less than 0.625, and that it is

closer to 0.625.

Some insects are harmful to

farmers’ crops. The insects listed

in this table are harmful to alfalfa

crops. Farmers scout their crops

and randomly collect sample plants.

They regularly observe the plants

and gather data to determine if the

insect population is growing or

remaining stable.

The table shows the result of

one farmer’s insect scouting.

7�10 Scouting for Insects

Name Date Time

Some insects are harmful to

farmers’ crops. The insects listed

in this table are harmful to alfalfa

crops. Farmers scout their crops

and randomly collect sample plants.

They regularly observe the plants

and gather data to determine if the

insect population is growing or

remaining stable.

The table shows the result of

one farmer’s insect scouting.

Plot and label the lengths of the insects from the scouting sample on the

line plot below. Use the line plot to find the following data landmarks:

1. Minimum insect length in. 2. Maximum insect length in.

3. Range of insect lengths in. 4. Median insect length in.

5. Mean insect length in.

Example: Read the rain gauge pictured above and place an X on

the line plot to show how much rain has been collected.

1. Read each rain gauge to find out how much rain fell each day.

Write the amount of rain on the line below the gauge.
