Unit 5 Data

Unit 5 Data

Unit Driving Question

How does data collection represent information in the real world?

 

Essential Questions

  1. How can we interpret data?

  2. How can we present data in a meaningful way?

 

Big Ideas

  1. Data can be interpreted in a graphical format.
  2. Graphs present data in a purposeful way.

 

Technology Resources 

 

The following apps, websites, and smartboard lessons can be used throughout the unit, as needed, during small groups, lessons, to reinforce standards.  They are also useful for students who may need reinforcement, remediation, or differentiation.

 

Resources Within This Unit


Additional Resources

  • Create a graph- Students can use this tool to present their own data.

 

Launch Task

1 Lesson

 

Hands-On Graphing Ideas: This is a resource that you can use to initially go over graphs. They can collect and graph data based on a set of objects. It can be candy, manipulatives, toys, etc.

 

Big Ideas for Development Lessons

2-3 Weeks

Big Idea 1: Data can be interpreted in a graphical format.

OAS-M:  3.D.1.23.N.2.53.A.2.13.D.1.1 

Collaborative Engagement 

 

  1. Gummy Bear Graphing: This is a hands-on activity where students learn to create pictographs with gummy bears. They create a frequency table with tally marks and then draw the gummy bears within a pictograph. Have students think of questions they can answer using the graph. Tech component: Post graph on Seesaw and have students ask their parents questions about the graph. To challenge students, ask them how they could have graphed more easily. Do they have to draw each gummy bear separately? How could they make it more convenient? Are there other graphs they can make to show the data more efficiently? 

 

Key Resources 

 

  1. Tony’s Pencil Stand: Students analyze a pictograph and answer questions based on the data. As an extension, students can add sales on the graph and create their own questions for a partner or for the class to answer. 
  2. Analyzing Bar Graphs: This is a LearnZillion lesson that teaches students how to analyze bar graphs. It asks higher level questions and challenges students to think about the reasonableness of answers.
  3. Interpreting Bar Graphs: This task works better as an assessment than a teaching tool/strategy. Students answer both basic and more complex problems based on the graph provided. Make sure students provide explanations when asked! There are examples of student work to help you understand what misconceptions may come up when completing the task.
  4. Line Plot Lesson: This is a great introduction to line plots from LearnZillion.
  5. Line Plots IXL Practice Game: Students can practice independently on iPads in stations or answer the questions as a class. 

 

Big Idea Formative Assessment

 

  1. Data Task Cards: This gives students an opportunity to answer questions about data in a more interactive way.

 

Evidence of Understanding 

 

Analyze graphs based on the data provided.

  • Data is represented in bar graphs, frequency tables, line plots, and pictographs.

  • Scales can help provide an understanding of the data that is collected.

 

Big Idea 2: Graphs present data in a purposeful way.

OAS-M: 3.D.1.23.N.2.53.A.2.13.D.1.1

Collaborative Engagement

 

  1. Line Plot Activities: This website includes a variety of activities and resources for line plots specifically.
  2. Relay Data: As a team building activity, students can race each other outside in teams or individually as the teacher or team leaders keep time. They can then create a class frequency table based on the information and come up with questions based on the data they collected.

 

Key Resources 

 

  1. Measure Pencils Activity: Have students measure one or two pencils they have on their desk to the nearest half inch. Based on the smallest and biggest pencil, students can make a frequency table to graph the data from their class. They can then create a pictograph based on the data they collect.
  2. Book Sales This is a free resource from ThoughtCo. where students analyze a table with data. Students can go to the next level by graphing the data into a pictograph.
  3. ThoughtCo. List of Survey Ideas: This is a list of ideas that students can use to collect and display data.
  4. Planning a Field Trip & Toni’s School Supplies: Both of these tasks focus on displaying data using a bar graph. These can be used as formative assessments after students collect data in the classroom and create their own bar graphs. Adapted from North Carolina 3-5 Formative Instructional and Assessment Tasks
  5. Estimating Measurements & Measuring Friendship Bracelets: Both of these resources incorporate both measurement and data collection. Students create a line plot based on the information in the frequency tables and answer questions based on the results. Adapted from North Carolina 3-5 Formative Instructional and Assessment Tasks

 

Big Idea Formative Assessment 

 

  1. Group Graphing Project  Use the following rubric to assess students’ understanding of creating graphs and analyzing data. You can provide students with questions to survey the class or allow them to come up with their own. Once they collect their data, they can create one type of graph or multiple graphs to display their data. They also come up with questions to go along with their graphs for the other students. (Provide examples)
  2. Engage NY End of Module Assessment: This is an assessment created by Engage NY that can challenge your students at the end of the unit.

Evidence of Understanding 

 

Gather information and construct graphs based on a simple set of data.

  • Data can be gathered in multiple ways, such as surveys, collecting information over time, and categorizing a group of objects.

  • Graphs can be analyzed based on the information gathered.

  • Data is presented in bar graphs, frequency tables, line plots, and pictographs.

     

 

 

 

Unit Closure

1 Week (includes time for probes, re-engagement, and assessment)  

  • Classroom Supplies: This task from Illustrative Mathematics is a real-world example of how to budget and purchase needed materials. It includes many mathematical concepts including numbers & operations, money, and graphing data.
