What students practice
Students measure objects and lines to the nearest half, fourth, and eighth inch on rulers printed true to size, and with their own ruler. They make line plots from data tables with one dot for each length, then answer questions from the plots: the most, the fewest, how many, the range as longest minus shortest, and the total of two lengths. Every page ends with a question students write and answer themselves. A self-checking code page and a Mixed Review finish the packet.
What's inside
- p. 3
Eighths on a Ruler
Read the ruler to find how long each object is, to the nearest eighth inch.
- p. 4
Halves, Fourths, and Eighths
Read each ruler to the nearest half, fourth, or eighth inch, as the problem asks.
- p. 5
Measure Each Line
Use an inch ruler to measure each line to the nearest eighth inch.
- p. 6
Make a Line Plot
Make a line plot of the data, then use it to answer the questions.
- p. 7
Line Plots in Fourths and Halves
Make a line plot for each set of data, with one dot for each length.
- p. 8
Read a Line Plot
Use the line plot to answer each question.
- p. 9
Find the Range
Use the line plot to find the range: the longest minus the shortest.
- p. 10
Add Lengths from a Line Plot
Use the line plot to add lengths that have the same denominator.
- p. 11
Plot, Then Answer
Make the line plot, then use it to answer the questions.
- p. 12
Line Plot Problems
Use the line plot to answer each question.
- p. 13
Line Plot Code
Answer each question, then use the code to spell a word.
- p. 14
Mixed Review
Read each problem, then solve.
Georgia standards covered

Who it's for
Grade 4 classes in the measurement and data unit. Each data set uses one denominator (halves, fourths, or eighths), so every range and total has like denominators and no regrouping. Inches only, with no conversions. Print at 100% so the rulers measure true.
See the format first, free. The free Grade 4 Math Sampler has one practice page from four units, each with its answer key.
