Data Management Unit Has Begun

We have begun our next unit in math, which is Data Management. In this unit, we will mostly be looking at organizing data into graphs and charts, and using mean, median an mode to help us analyze the data.

Here is a Blendspace lesson that I have started putting together to assist students in learning and studying this material. I will be adding to it throughout the unit, so please check back often!

Data Management Blendspace Lesson

Our first lesson was on interpreting graphs, which is fairly easy for most students to understand. Here is a short presentation that can be used to remind students of our learning:

Interpreting Graphs Grade 6

We also have learned about finding the Mean, the Median and the Mode, which are all forms of averages. The hardest part of this for students is not calculating these, but instead we are sometimes given the mean, and then asked to find a missing value. Students must work backwards to find the mean in this case. Please see the presentation below for how to do this.
