We have started to learn about collecting data and making data representations this week. We started by surveying the class yesterday and sorting data into categories. We found out that some students' favorite places to eat are at restaurants, at Grandma's house, or at the park for a picnic. We found that there are many ways to sort data.
Today we extended our data collection and then got into groups to sort our classroom data. Each group had to determine how they were going to sort the data and what each category name would be. The groups took turns explaining their data and how they sorted. They also had to write "We noticed . . . " sentences about their representation. The students did a great job working in groups!
