What educators are saying
I accidentally purchased this - however, it was good practice for the 2024 version. We completed the 2017 as a whole group and then the students work in small groups to complete the 2024 version.
Description
Are you looking for a fun activity way to teach about solar eclipses?! This will be perfect for you! This activity integrates Social Studies, Science, and MATH!
August 2017 ECLIPSE MAGNITUDES: Across the United States
- Students look at a map and determine the states of each city listed on the table.
- Next, they convert each percent (magnitude) to a fraction.
- Then they simplify the fractions to lowest terms.
- Finally the students create a line plot using the percent data and answer questions!

CCSS4.MD.B.4
Make a line plot 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. For example, from a line plot find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest specimens in an insect collection.
CCSS4.NF.A.1
Explain why a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 is equivalent to a fraction (𝘯 × 𝘢)/(𝘯 × 𝘣) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
