Domain - Measurement and Data

Cluster - Represent and interpret data.

[3.MD.B.4] - Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of objects using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Record and show the data by making a line plot (dot plot), where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units—whole numbers, halves, or fourths. (See Glossary for example.)

Resources:


  • Line plot
    A method of visually displaying a distribution of data values where each data value is shown as a dot or mark above a number line. (Also known as a dot plot.)

Predecessor Standards:

No Predecessor Standards found.

Successor Standards:

  • 4.MD.B.4
    Make a line plot (dot plot) representation to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots (dot plots). For example, from a line plot (dot plot) find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest specimens in an insect collection.
  • 4.ESS.2.2
    Analyze and interpret maps of Earth’s mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, volcanoes, and earthquake epicenters to describe patterns of these features and their locations relative to boundaries between continents and oceans.
  • 4.PS.3.4
    Apply scientific principles of energy and motion to test and refine a device that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy or uses stored energy to cause motion or produce light or sound.* Clarification Statement: Sources of stored energy can include water in a bucket or a weight suspended at a height, and a battery.
  • 4.ETS.1.3
    Plan and carry out tests of one or more design features of a given model or prototype in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify which features need to be improved. Apply the results of tests to redesign a model or prototype.* Clarification Statement: Examples of design features can include materials, size, shape, and weight.

Same Level Standards:

  • 3.NF.A.2
    Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
  • 3.LS.3.1
    Provide evidence, including through the analysis of data, that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exist in a group of similar organisms.Clarification Statements: Examples of inherited traits that vary can include the color of fur, shape of leaves, length of legs, and size of flowers; Focus should be on non-human examples. State Assessment Boundary: Genetic mechanisms of inheritance or prediction of traits are not expected in state assessment.
  • 3.PS.2.3
    Conduct an investigation to determine the nature of the forces between two magnets based on their orientations and distance relative to each other. Clarification Statement: Focus should be on forces produced by magnetic objects that are easily manipulated.
