Students make representations of the number of people in their class. They collect data about the favorite part of their lunches and collect information from their classmates by conducting their own surveys. In addition, they solve a mathematical problem based on the daily attendance data. Throughout the unit students engage in a variety of activities which involve describing objects and sorting and classifying them according to common attributes. These experiences contribute to their work with organizing the data they collect.
Students deepen their understanding of numbers and number relationships.
Throughout the unit, students explore a variety of different ways to represent quantities, such as with manipulatives and other objects, with numerals, and with pictures. Copyright 1997 TERC, All Rights Reserved.
