Problem/activity:
Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.

problem_activity: Activity
After organizing the data set into a frequency table in the warm-up, students now represent the information graphically. The drawing of the plot should be fairly straightforward. The emphasis here is on using a graphical representation to study and comment on the data distribution, and to reinforce how it allows us to make observations that are difficult to make by looking at lists and tables.
As students work, identify those who describe distributions not only in terms of individual categories or values (e.g. “four people did not order any toppings”) but also characterize them in broader terms (e.g. “almost all customers in the data set ordered 2 or fewer toppings”). Invite them to share during the discussion following the activity.
Launch
Keep students in groups of 2. Give students 4–5 minutes of quiet work time and 1–2 minutes to share their responses with a partner.
Action and Expression: Develop Expression and Communication.
Invite students to talk about their ideas with a partner before writing them down. Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their ideas. For example, “I notice that . . .,” or  “I know _____ because . . .”
Supports accessibility for: Language; Organization
Student Facing
Use the tables from the warm-up to display the number of toppings as a dot plot. Label your drawing clearly.
[IMG]
Use your dot plot to study the distribution for number of toppings. What do you notice about the number of toppings that this group of customers ordered? Write 2–3 sentences summarizing your observations.

Activity Synthesis
Display a completed dot plot for all to see. Solicit as many observations or comments about the distribution as time permits. The goal of this discussion is to allow students to hear as many ways to describe distributions as possible. Be sure to select previously identified students to make observations that succinctly capture the distributions.
