Data

January 25, 2016

Good morning thinkers!
Have you ever asked a whole bunch of people the same question? People collect data, or information, when they gather a lot of information about the same thing. Here's an example... Last night I asked my whole family what their favorite ice creams are. 2 people said chocolate, one person said mint chocolate chip, and one person said vanilla.

Applequist Family Favorite Ice Cream
Chocolate = 50%
Mint Chocolate Chip = 25%
Vanilla = 25%

There are many ways to organize data: percents, fractions, bar graphs, line plots... and many more! We are going to practice collecting and organizing data in 3rd grade.

Now let's practice. Take a survey in your classroom, and make sure to collect the data! I will use the data and show you a couple different ways to organize it! If your class has time, you can even make a graph in your classroom!

What month is your birthday?

Be good. Be nice. Behave.
