Data Management Expectations

Data Literacy

We began our Data Literacy Unit on Monday - here are the new learning expectations and some tips on how you can practice at home:

• I can collect data by conducting a simple survey 
• I can collect and organize and display data in charts, tables, and graphs with appropriate titles and labels 
• I can read data presented in charts, tables, and graphs, then describe the data using comparative language 
• I can interpret and draw conclusions from data 
• I can demonstrate an understanding of mode and mean and identify them both in a set of data 

Some ways that you can practice at home:
Sort objects at home (sort fruit & veggies into the fridge after shopping, sort coins in different ways), take surveys at home (who likes chicken more than beef, what type of pizza does everyone like in your family), if you see a graph or table in a book, newspaper, magazine, social media - ask your child to show you the labels, ask which is most popular, which is least popular, what does the graph tell you.

Place Value Expectations

 

PLACE VALUE

Our current focus in math in math is Place Value! Here are our learning goals for this unit:

• I can count to 1000, including by 50s, 100s and 200s using a variety of tools

• I can read, represent, compose and decompose, compare and order whole numbers up to 1000

• I can round whole numbers to the nearest ten or hundred

• I can use place value when describing and representing multi-digit numbers in a variety of ways, including with base ten materials

Try to help your child consolidate this learning at home by having them skip count while waiting for the light to change in the car, while waiting for their sibling to get dressed, and while waiting for commercials/ads to be over. When shopping and looking at prices, ask your child to round the dollar amounts to the nearest 10. When a number comes up in a book, on the television, or in an address, ask them to tell you which digit is in the 100's column, or 10's column, or 1's column and what it's value is.
