What do Fourth Graders Have to Know about Graphs? By Kay McCullough
Expectations • D.RE.04.01 Construct tables and bar graphs from given data. • D.RE.04.02 Order a given set of data, find the median, and specify the range of values. • D.RE.04.03 Solve problems using data presented in tables and bar graphs
Construct tables and bar graphs from given data. Construct means to make Can you make a table? Can you use the data in the table to make a bar graph?
This is an example of a table Boys’ and Girls’ Eye Color In the Classroom A table is the same thing as a chart. It is used to collect data.
This is an example of a Table Boys and Girls Eye Color In the Classroom It must have a title, labels and be neat.
Collect data and make a graph There are different types of graphs. Fourth graders need to know how to construct (make) a bar graph.
It must have Title Labels Bars It must be quality.
Could you make this bar graph? Fourth grades were asked what their favorite season was. Below is the data. Could you use that data and construct (make) a bar graph?
Assessment Rubric1 In Progress of Learning At first you might say something like this: " This is hard for me to understand. I know some of the vocabulary words, but I do not know all of the words that you use to explain the ideas. I can do some of what you ask me, but I need help on quite a bit of this. I just cannot do this by myself, yet. Sometimes this work makes me a little nervous."
2 Knows vocabulary and facts “I can repeat what you say. I know facts and definitions of vocabulary words. I do not really understand how to use this information in different ways. I am building the foundation for understanding, but I am not there yet."
3 Understand the Concept " I understand the how to make a graph and can show you how it works. I include all of the parts of a graph. I have a title, labels and my bars are accurate. My bar graph is quality. I feel very proud of my work. I am not sure if I can explain how to make a bar graph to someone else so that he will understand."
4 Beyond Expectations " I know how to make bar graphs and can teach someone else how to make a bar graph. Any time I collect data, I can turn it into a bar graph. "
Order a given set of data find the median specify the range of values Age of dogs at the pet shop 4 1 3 2 4 2 6 3 2 5 2 4 3 2 5
First Order a given set of data Age of dogs at the pet shop 4 1 3 2 4 2 6 3 2 5 2 4 3 2 5 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 6
2nd find the median Age of dogs at the pet shop 4 1 3 2 3 4 2 6 3 2 5 2 4 3 2 5 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 6 The median is the middle number.
3rd find the range of values Age of dogs at the pet shop 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 6 Once the numbers are in order, take the largest number and subtract the smallest number. 6 -1 = 5 The range is 5
Rubric Level 3 Understand the Concept " I can put data in order. Then I can find the median and the range. My work is quality. I feel very proud of my work. I am not sure if I can explain this to someone else so that he will understand."
Solve problems using data in tables and bar graphs When students look at bar graphs and tables, they need to be able to answer questions.
Solve problems using data in tables and bar graphs Understanding the vocabulary in the questions is probably the secret to solving problems
Solve problems using data in tables and bar graphs Some Vocabulary to Know Greatest Least Total Sum
Solve problems using data in tables and bar graphs Clue Words for Subtraction Difference Fewer Longer Shorter Taller Heavier More Less Bar graphs are used to compare. So many problem questions will use subtraction to figure out the answer.
Examples of problem questions Strategy Read the question twice and think about what the question is asking. Look for words that will help you decide on the operation to use (add, subtract, multiply or divide.)
Examples of problem questions What was the total number of candy bars sold?
Examples of problem questions Which grade sold the greatest number of candy bars and how many did they sell?
Examples of problem questions How many more candy bars did fourth grade sell than the fifth grade?
Examples of problem questions What is the difference between the number of candy bars fourth graders sold and the number that the sixth graders sold?
