It's hard to believe that December is already here! With the winter break fast approaching, we are going to squeeze in one more fun math unit over the next couple of weeks. We will be studying graphing, which is covered in Chapter 4 of the math textbook.
On Thursday, students learned how to read and plot ordered pairs on a co-ordinate grid. By accurately plotting around 30 co-ordinates in the correct order, they were able to make beautiful and unique pictures!
This week we will investigate line graphs and bar graphs and when we should use each type to present data. We will collect data through questionnaires, databases on the internet, and by performing an experiment.
We will ensure that we include all the accurate features of line graphs, such as titles, labels, and an appropriate scale. Finally, we will interpret line graphs to gather information and make inferences.
If you notice any graphs in the newspaper, on the internet, or on TV, they could be a great starting point for a discussion of data collection with your son or daughter!
