options: Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to represent on paper the class data collected during the previous activity. Students determine how they want to represent their data which was represented by cubes in the previous activity. Representations may include squares (as cubes), tally marks, or number symbols. Students also label their representations.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Colored pencils or crayons
Connecting cubes
Materials from a previous activity
Required Preparation
Have extra copies of the three-column table from a previous lesson available for students.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group access to colored pencils or crayons and copies of the three-column table.
“We have to put the cubes away at the end of math, but we want to be able to see our class data tomorrow. With your partner, come up with a plan to show our data on paper.”
3 minutes: partner discussion
Activity
“Now each of you will show our class data on paper.”
10 minutes: independent work time
As students work, consider asking questions to help clarify representations:
“Which category is this? What can you do so others can tell what each category is on your paper?”
“What is the title of your data representation?”
Monitor for different representations that use squares, tally marks, and numbers to share during the synthesis of the next activity.
Student Facing
Show the survey data about our class’s favorite
