Data Doesn’t Take a Break!: Yearlong Graphing in Grades 3–5

Notice: To view/join sessions and download materials, you must login and/or register for the event.

Why save data for one unit when it can be part of your math year? In this session, participants will explore playful, ongoing ways to collect, represent, and analyze data in grades 3–5. Teachers will see how monthly data routines and engaging questions help students build and compare different types of graphs while strengthening math talk and reasoning. Participants will leave with ready-to-use ideas and creative data prompts that keep graphing fresh and meaningful all year long.

Additional resources:

  • Slow Reveal Graphs are a great way to incorporate Data Anaylsis all year long. The “Slow Reveal Graph” instructional routine promotes cross-curricular sensemaking about data. As more and more of the graph is revealed, students refine their interpretation and construct meaning, often in surprising ways.-- https://slowrevealgraphs.com/
