Collect data and organize into a picture or bar graph.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Sort data set based on a single attribute (e.g., pencils vs. markers).
  • Organize the data into a picture or bar graph using objects that represent one piece of data (may have number symbols).
  • Compare data sets to identify more or less (e.g., this bar represents a set with more).
Representation:
  • Identify a picture and bar graph.
  • Use a key to identify the visual representations of data on the graph.
  • Identify a numerical representation of a data set (e.g., bar graph representing five pencils).

Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Represent and interpret data. (Supporting Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Examples of Opportunities for In-Depth Focus

Continuous measurement quantities such as liquid volume, mass, and so on are an important context for fraction arithmetic (cf. 4.NF.2.4c, 5.NF.2.7c, 5.NF.2.3). In grade 3, students begin to get a feel for continuous measurement quantities and solve whole- number problems involving such quantities.

Name Description
MAFS.3.MD.2.3: Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
