NH K-3 Math Curriculum Addendum Teaching . That's the problem that children all over the world research together as part of the National Geographic Kids Network telecommunication unit, Hello .
Children take surveys in their classes about how many pets they have.
They telecompute all this data and the community study, in order to try to solve the problem. One of the ways that all this information becomes more meaningful to children is by graphing. They use real data that they gather in their own classrooms and data that is telecomputed to them from the research teams that are part of this Network. The class is alive with anticipation, gathering and interpreting information, and creating graphs that they will share with the rest of the class to present their information. They have learned a great deal about how mathematics is used to help solve problems, but also how it can be an integral part of learning about geography, science, communication, and social studies.
