G3+Math+Unit+2

** Investigations Math ** ** Grade 3 ** ** Unit 2: Data Analysis – Surveys and Line Plots ** 1: Make sense of math problems and persevere in solving them. 2: Reason abstractly and answer quantitatively. 4: Model with mathematics. 6: Attend to precision. 7: Look for and make use of structure. 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. 3.MD.3, 3.M.4: Represent and interpret data. EfS: B- Responsible Local and Global Citizenship, C- Dynamics of Systems & Change, E - Healthy Commons, F - Natural Laws and Ecological Principles || Students collect, organize, represent, and describe categorical data. They develop a survey question and collect data from other classrooms in order to compare data from one or more group. || ** Investigation 2: Representing and Describing Numerical Data ** Students represent ordered, numerical data with line plots and bar graphs, and describe the data in order to answer survey questions. They carry out data projects based on survey questions that they design, and they collect data from two groups. || ** Investigation 3: Collecting and Analyzing Measurement Data ** Students collect and analyze data by measuring lengths and distances. They measure in inches and feet, and discuss issues of measuring with accuracy. || May 13 to June 14, 2013 || 8 days || 7 days || 5 days || data categories bar graph double bar graph key scale interval survey compare mode less than half more than half || 2.1-2.7 line plot data category mode range outlier survey median scale || 3.1-3.5 distance U.S. standard system metric system inch feet data line plot range length yard || 2.5-2.7 Assessment: Data Project 2.6 Assessment: How Many People Live in Your House? || 3.5 End of Unit Assessment ||
