How is it possible to organize infomation so that it is easier to read and interpret?
Over the next few days, we will focus on three types of graphs:
bar graphs, line graphs, and pictographs.

Day One~
Bar Graphs: Step One
A bar graph is most useful to organize data that can be counted. Information is displayed as rectangular bars in a bar graph. Take a minute to view examples of bar graphs with your group. Can you think of an example of when it would be appropriate to organize data into a bar graph?

Websites: Step Two
At the following websites, you will be working with bar graphs. Timekeepers should allow 5 minutes for each game.
Kids Have Pets
Interpreting Data
Graphing Marbles
Cyber Chase

Small Groups: Step Three
Group One will meet with Ms. Hart to practice reading and interpreting bar graphs.
Group Two will meet with Mrs. Blythe to practice (2)creating bar graphs using (1)previously collected data. We will rotate after about 20 minutes.

Day Two~
Pictographs:Step One
A pictograph uses pictures or symbols to represent an assigned amount of data. It takes the form of a bar graph. The key for a pictograph tells the number that each picture or symbol represents. Let's take a look at an example of a pictograph.

Websites: Step Two
Work with your group members to answer questions from this pictograph. Don't cheat...you'll show that you know how to read a pictograph in step three small groups!

Small Groups: Step Three
Group one will meet with Mrs. Blythe to practice creating a pictograph using previously collected data. Group two will meet with Ms. Hart to practice reading and interpreting pictographs. We will rotate after about 20 minutes.

Day Three~
Center One:
Each of you will be given a special Valentine's treat. Once you receive your "treat", sort the candies based on color and create a tally chart to display your findings. Using your totals, each of you will create a bar graph and a pictograph using The Graph Club. Print your completed graphs and answer the questions on the board based on your findings. Turn your work into the basket.

Center Two:
More Ordered Pairs Activity

Center Three:
Line Graphs

Let's Practice Measuring Some Angles!

Follow the link below to practice measuring angles. Directions can be found on the introduction page.

Center One: Lesson-Converting Metric Units
You've learned how to converts units in the customary system. Now it is time to move on to converting units in the metric system. How many grams are in a kilogram? Can you name an object that weight approximately one gram? What about an object that may be measure using kilograms?

Center Two: Sharpening Your Skills for CRCT

Staple your scratch work to the print out, make sure you name is on your paper and place it in the box on your way to the next center.

Measurement

Wasn't yesterday fun! We learned a lot about weight just by packing the see saw! Today we will expand on what we learned yesterday as we visit three centers.
Center One:
Weigh it Up and balance the scales!
Stack the scales until the bunnies are balanced.
Weigh the poodles in a game of Poodle Weigh In

When I give the time warning, you may take a second to check your weight on other planets!

Center Two: Make a Pound
I will give you a 1-pound weight. You will hold the weight and try to remember how heavy 1 pound is. Then, you will create a bag that will weigh about 1 pound. You can not use the scale!
After everyone in your group has made their 1-pound bag, weigh everyone’s bag using the scale provided.
Do the bags weigh less than a pound? More than a pound? Exactly the same as a pound?
You will record your answers on the sheet provided. Repeat these steps until you reach 1 pound or until time is called.

Center Three:
We learned yesterday that one unit of measurement for weight is the pound. We are all familiar with weighing objects using pounds...we weigh ourselves using this unit. Your job in center three is to complete the following tasks:
1. Each person in your group should weigh him or herself. If you are not comfortable doing so,
you can give an estimate of your weight, or your best friends weight, in pounds. Each weight
should be recorded in the provided chart.
2. Using the recorded weights, order your group members from lightest to heaviest.
3. Answer the "Think about it" questions on your worksheet.
