Time Frame:  3.5 – 4 Weeks

 

 

 

Math > Grade 2 > Unit 3

 

Unit Description

In this unit, students will use a variety of materials to collect, organize, represent, and analyze data they gather in ways that make sense to them.  Students will work with data collected to sort in ways that make sense to them.  This analysis will lead to students creating their own representations, exploring each other’s data representations, and working with conventional representations. 

 

Enduring Understandings

·         Information means more to me if it is organized.

·         Drawing pictures of information helps me make sense of what I collect.

 

 

Essential Questions

·         Why do I organize my collections?

·         How does sorting help me understand the meaning?

·         Why is drawing pictures of collections helpful?

·         How can different kinds of pictures tell about my collection?

GLEs: 4, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30

 

Students will know…

·         The purposes and uses of bar graphs and charts, when given a set of data

·         How to classify objects and determine whether it satisfies a simple logical classification rule (belongs or doesn’t belong)

·         Appropriate probability vocabulary (more likely to happen, less likely to happen, always, never, same as)

 

Students will be able to…

·         Collect, organize, and describe data and its connections based on real life situations

·         Construct, read, and interpret data in charts, graphs, tables, etc.

·         Formulate and solve problems that involve the use of data

·         Explore, formulate, and solve sequence-of-pattern problems involving selection and arrangement of objects/ numerals

·         Predict outcomes based on probability (make predictions of same chance, more likely, less likely; determine fair and unfair games)
