NoneActivity Narrative
The purpose of this Warm-up is to elicit students’ prior understandings about categorical data representations, which will be useful when students engage with single-unit scale picture and bar graphs in later activities. While students may notice and wonder many things about this graph, it is important to pay attention to the ways in which students make sense of a picture graph, the questions they have about the categorical data, and the contexts that make sense for the categorical data shown. This is the first time students experience the Notice and Wonder routine in IM Grade 3. Students should be familiar with this routine from a previous grade. However, they may benefit from a brief review of the steps involved.
For all Warm-up routines, consider establishing a small, discreet hand signal that students can display to indicate they have an answer they can support with reasoning. Signals might include a thumbs-up or a certain number of fingers that tells the number of responses they have. Using signals is a quick way to see if students have had enough time to think about the problem. It also keeps students from being distracted or rushed by hands being raised around the class. Since this is the first Warm-up of the year, 5 additional minutes have been allocated to help establish the structure of a routine.
