Teacher notes:
In order to complete this task, each student needs a copy of the resource
sheet Zacks Crayon Box as well as a ruler that will allow them to measure
to the nearest quarter inch.
The students should add Xs to the line plot to reflect the following crayon
lengths:
3 in,
in,
in,
in,
The line below each crayon represents the length of the crayon. The
students should measure the line so that their measurements are accurate.
This will avoid problems caused if students dont know whether to measure
just the top of the crayon or from the back to the end of the crayons point.
If students are unsure of what to do, you may instruct them that they should
measure the line below each crayon and use that measurement as the
length of the crayon.
