The purpose of this Warm-up is for students to use grouping strategies to describe the images they see. They may use their knowledge of addition facts or mental strategies to determine the total number of dots. When students notice and use the structure of 5 dots to describe how they see the images, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).
This is the first time students experience the How Many Do You See? routine in grade 2. Students are familiar with this routine from a previous grade, however, they may benefit from a brief review of the steps involved.
How many do you see? How do you see them?

The purpose of this activity is for students to learn a new way of organizing data: a picture graph. In the Launch, students engage in a discussion about what they notice about the graph and how a picture graph makes it easier to interpret data. After students discuss the picture graph and consider what they could learn from the graph, ask: “What is the total number of children who love basketball or baseball?” This question uses “or” to signify the sum of the two categories. This phrasing may be new for students.
Clare asked a group of children, “Which sport do you love?” Their responses are shown in this picture graph.
What can you learn about the sports children love from Clare’s picture graph?
A group of adults were asked, “Which sport do you love?” Their responses are shown in this picture graph.
Write 1 fact you learned about the data in the picture graph.

The purpose of this activity is for students to interpret data represented in a picture graph. Students make sense of questions related to the context and decide whether questions can be answered with the data. This type of reasoning helps students make sense of the mathematical elements in a context and interpret and use the data presented in the picture graph to answer questions (MP4). When students read the graph and use methods based on addition and subtraction or those based on counting on or back from the pictures in the graph, they reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP2).
A group of children were asked, “Which is your favorite art supply?” Their responses are shown in this picture graph.
Circle the 4 questions the graph can answer.
