Select the appropriate statement that compares the data representations based on a given graph (picture, bar, line plots).
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use an object representing the data set to identify which category has more on a bar graph, picture graph, or line plot.
  • Use an object representing the data set to identify which category has less on a bar graph, picture graph, or line plot.
Representation:
  • Understand the vocabulary of more, less, least, most, same, equal, data set, bar graph, picture graph, and line plots.
  • Identify visuals (i.e., pictures) used to represent data in a graph.
General Information
Number: MAFS.3.MD.2.AP.3b
Category: Access Points
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.

Lesson Plan

Video Game City:

This Model Eliciting Activity (MEA) is written at a 2nd grade level. In this MEA students need to help the owner of Video Game City help his customers decide which gaming system best meets their needs. Students can consider the cost of each gaming system in their rankings. In part 2, students will need to add the cost of each gaming system and accessory.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.
