Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will write a letter of explanation to their parents, or a pen pal, or in their Mathematics Journals describing in their own words the meaning of: average (mean), mode, median, range; and whether the average (mean) is always one of the numbers. 

2.) Students will make timelines using a roll of adding machine tape, a ruler, and a marker to keep a record of important events. One foot of paper will equal a year, an inch will equal each month of the year. They will label the months and record important dates on timelines of: 
  • This year in Our Class: Include field trips, speakers, special projects, etc. 
  • Individual student's life history 
    3.) Students will measure and graph the height of all their classmates each month. Each student will have a blank graph to record personal data. They may use calculators to determine the class average by recording students' heights in inches or centimeters 
    4.) Students will discuss and research averages used in sports and grade points. They will measure distances on a map and find average distances between sets of cities.     
    • Previously Published Data 

    1.) Students will demonstrate their knowledge of collecting data by making a table and using tally marks to record their findings. Then they will construct graphs: bar, line, circle, and pictorial. Assign small groups to investigate the following: 

  • different eye/ hair/ sock colors in the class
  • favorite sports/ movies/ singer/ snack food (limit to 5)
  • minutes it takes to go to school/ ways to get to school
  • number of brothers and sisters/ pets/ rooms in the house 
    2.) Students will be given opportunities to discuss, collect, and represent data on graphs, tables, and charts in other curriculum areas. In small groups, students can gather information and present oral reports on topics in science and social studies, such as the life expectancy of mammals and ages when different presidents took office.
