Subtracting Fractions and Line Plots

This lesson covers subtracting fractions and interpreting line plots. Students learn to solve problems involving the lengths of dragonflies, ribbons, and sea bass using line plots. Various methods, such as bar models and number lines, are explored to find differences in lengths. The lesson also includes answering questions based on line plot data and encourages students to practice independently.
