Data Management expectations

We are moving into our next unit in Math on Data Management. The expectations for the next few weeks are as follows:

• I can organize, sort, and classify objects into categories using two or more attributes

• I can collect data by conducting a simple survey

• I can collect and organize data and display the data in charts, tables and graphs, with appropriate titles and labels 

• I can read data presented in charts, tables, and graphs, then describe the data using comparative language

• I can interpret and draw conclusions from data 

• I can demonstrate an understanding of mode and identify the mode in a set of data

Some ways that you can practise at home:

Sort objects at home (sort fruit and veggies into the fridge after shopping, sort coins in different ways), take surveys at home (who likes to eat chicken better than beef, who likes olives on their pizza), if you see a graph or table in a book, newspaper, magazine, social media - ask your child to show you the labels, ask which is most popular, or least popular, what does the graph tell you?
