Here is what we are up to in math class this week:
 |
| Everyone is so excited to get to math class! |
Monday: We will study what histograms really reveal, how to read data from a histogram and we will learn how to create our own histograms with data we have collected. We have information about how many marbles each May Watts classroom has earned thus far.
Tuesday: We will have a day of small group lessons. I will use information to enrich and/or re-teach lessons and concepts to select children. The students will continue to finish their histograms and learning of why we use histograms.
Wednesday: We will learn how data is viewed and revealed through a box plot. We will begin learning what lower quartile and upper quartile means in a set of data. There is an image resource for the box plot HW on Edline.
Thursday: We will learn how to construct our own box plots. We will use data collected from the "May Watts Classroom Marble Count" to reveal data in our box plots.
Friday: Ice Tea Day! The students will study rates and determine the most economic price to buy their ice tea supplies at. In addition, the students will set a sales price for the sale of their ice tea, once they calculate the production price for making it.
