| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Measurement and Line Plots
Grades 3-5 (Ages 8-11)
Mathematics
20 students
This lesson meets the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics, specifically:
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Introduce the concept of measurement and its importance. Discuss the types of measurements (length, weight, etc.). |
| 2 | Measuring Practice | 10 | Students use rulers to measure various classroom objects in cm. They record their measurements on sticky notes. |
| 3 | Introduction to Line Plots | 5 | Explain what a line plot is and how it represents data visually. Show an example on the whiteboard. |
| 4 | Creating Line Plots | 7 | Students use their recorded measurements to create a line plot on graph paper, marking their data accordingly. |
| 5 | Analyzing Data | 2 | Have students discuss what they observe from the line plots. Ask guiding questions about data trends. |
| 6 | Conclusion and Homework | 1 | Summarize key points of the lesson and assign homework on creating line plots using different datasets. |
Provide students with a worksheet where they will collect measurements of at least five different objects at home and represent that data in a line plot. Students will submit their worksheets for review without presenting in front of the class.
