1.) Students will practice collecting, recording, organizing, and displaying data as a class on a large sheet of chart paper. Examples include: 

2.) Students choose a subject with a partner. They collect, record, organize, and display data using the class models as examples, and then report their results to the class.  

3.) Students will use the charts you have made in class to develop five number sentences. This could include the total number of participants and how many liked each flavor, as well as a comparison of numbers between and among ice cream flavors.  

4.) Students will collect data and communicate their data to the class. You have shown them many ways data is interpreted; ask them to display their data in the best form for communicating it accurately and fairly to the class.  

5.) Students will make a class pictograph of their favorite fruit. This could include a homework assignment of polling their family for favorite fruit and sharing that information also. 

6.) Display examples of graphs in the classroom, student-made and other kinds. USA Today has numerous colored graphs; you might want to select some of the simpler ones for students to examine and discuss. Ask students to contribute graphs to the classroom examples as well as questions that can be answered from the graphs. 

1.) Students will read a teacher-selected data sheet and interpret the information, making addition and subtraction problems from the data. 

2.) Provide graphing examples which require the students to interpret the data using addition and subtraction problems. Show data on the top half of the sheet and questions on the bottom half.  

3.) Students will put given data into a chart, accurately labeling all parts.
