Numerical quantities, calculations, and measurements can be estimated or analyzed by using appropriate strategies and tools.
Mathematical relations and functions can be modeled through multiple representations and analyzed to raise and answer questions.
Data can be modeled and used to make inferences.
What does it mean to estimate or analyze numerical quantities?
What makes a tool and/or strategy appropriate for a given task?
How can data be organized and represented to provide insight into the relationship between quantities?
How does the type of data influence the choice of display?
How can probability and data analysis be used to make predictions?
Students will come up with a question that could have four possible answers such as for example "What is your favorite ice cream flavor" The choices are chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, mint. They will collect the data by running a survey and collecting tally mark. Then they will transfer the tally mark data to a bar graph table representing their findings.
In this lesson, students will measure the lengths of items and then make a line plot to show the measurement data. They will get hands-on experience measuring and surveying others. This lesson can be adapted for home.
In this lesson, students will collect and organize data to make a beautiful bar graph. They will also get practice at analyzing the graphs with the information they have. This can be adapted to be done at home
In this lesson, students will make bar graphs and interpret data using real life data from other students. They will get practice asking and answering survey questions. This can be adapted to be done at home.
This sheet compares two different graphs that collected the same data. The students will answer the questions based on the graphs. They also added a few subtraction problems at the end of the page to review.
This is a lesson providing step by step instructions on how to teach how to make a bar graph.
