Lesson Narrative
This lesson is optional because it does not address any new mathematical content standards. This lesson does provide students with an opportunity to apply precursor skills of mathematical modeling (MP4).
In previous lessons, students analyzed and represented categorical data using picture graphs and bar graphs. They generated statements, expressions, and equations based on the data in graphs and other displays.
In this lesson, students work in pairs to create their own survey question, collect categorical data, organize their data, and represent their findings with a bar graph or picture graph. Students are invited to represent comparisons with a tape diagram and equation that reflect what they learned about their classmates from their data.
- Engagement
- MLR7
- Represent data collected from a peer-survey with graphs, diagrams, and equations.
- Hagamos nuestras propias encuestas para conocer a nuestros compañeros de clase.
