[L1] Chasing Shadows
Practice
Lesson 1 to interpret line plots using shadow lengths recorded on different days in Omaha in 2024. CC Standard: 5.MD.B.2: Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit ($$\frac{1}{2}$$, $$\frac{1}{4}$$, $$\frac{1}{8}$$). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. Practice Lesson 1 Context: Shadow lengths on different days in 2024. Graphs: Dot plot Number of questions: 15 Difficulty level: Easy Estimated time: 15 mins
Students in Omaha, Nebraska measured the shadow of a 1-meter pole at different times of the day in 2024. The shadow lengths were rounded to the nearest $$\frac{1}{4}$$ meter (m) and recorded. Let's explore this data to see how shadows change as the Sun moves across the sky. Click Next to begin.
