2.MD.10
Standard
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
Student language:
- "I can a picture graph."
- "I can make a bar graph."
- "I can solve problems from picture graphs and bar graphs."
Explanation
About the Math, Learning Targets, and Rigor
This standard calls for students to work with categorical data by organizing, representing and interpreting data in picture graphs and bar graphs. Picture and bar graphs are introduced in 2nd Grade.
Example
- Students pose a question and the 4 possible responses:
- Which is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or cherry?
- Students collect their data by using tallies or another way of keeping track.
- Students organize their data by totaling each category in a chart or table.
In 2nd grade, picture graphs (pictographs) include symbols that represent single units. Pictographs should include a title, categories, category label, key, and data.
2nd graders should draw both horizontal and vertical bar graphs. Bar Graphs include a title, scale, scale label, category label and data.
