We have started our next math unit which will focus on data management. In this unit we will be learning about creating, understanding and interpreting graphs, conducting surveys, finding mean, median and mode, and creating scatter plots. We will also be reviewing about coordinate grids and plotting points on them, which is a skill most students have already learned.
A good portion of this unit will be taught using the lesson from the Ministry of Ontario document, "Data Management and Probability, Grade 4 -6 - A guide to Effective instruction in mathematics". It is available here, and is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the level of depth the curriculum goes to in teaching these concepts, as well as the methodology that may be used.
Below is a Blendspace unit I assembled to assist students and parents in reviewing the material and developing understanding at home.
