OBJECTIVE(S):
Interpret data displayed in a bar graph to solve one- and two-step problems involving addition and subtraction.
Interpret data displayed in a picture graph to solve one- and two-step problems involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
Recognize that data displayed in picture graphs and bar graphs can be represented by a scale other than 1.
Use multiplication to determine the number of items in data categories on graphs with a scale other than 1.
VOCABULARY: scale, key, data, bar graph, picture graph
ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S): What is a scaled graph?
I CAN STATEMENT(S): I can explain what a scaled graph is.
WEDNESDAY: Students will think about the data and scale as they complete or draw their bar graphs and picture graphs. Students will also answer questions about graph scales and data used to create bar graphs and picture graphs that might appear on a mathematics test.

I CAN STATEMENT(S): I can explain how I draw a scaled graph.
THURSDAY: Students will demonstrate their understanding of counting square units to find the area of a shape.
MATH STANDARD(S): NC.3.MD.5: Find the area of a rectangle with whole number side lengths by tiling without gaps or overlaps and counting unit squares.
OBJECTIVE(S):
Understand what a square unit is and the fact that it an be different sizes.
Understand that a square unit is used to measure area.
Understand how to measure area by covering a rectangle with square units and counting the squares.
Find the area of rectangles using different-sized square units, including square centimeters and meters, square inches and feet.
