Standard 1: Collect, represent and interpret data using pictographs and tally marks.

Lesson 3 - Tally Our Vote

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson, students will discuss how a class of students can vote to make a decision when they don't all agree on a choice.  Students will count tallies to determine answers to questions about voting for a class pet.  This is lesson 2 in a 3-part series integrating math and civics.  

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will vote on a favorite class pet, record results, and use the most popular choice to decide the favorite as a way of demonstrating group decision making.

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will collect, record, and compare data about their favorite way to demonstrate patriotism during a patriotic holiday or observance.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson students will work collaboratively in guided groups to resolve conflicts while demonstrating respect and kindness with a focus on recognizing the characteristics of responsible citizenship. They will collect data into categories and represent the results using tally marks or pictographs.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this MEA lesson plan, students will work on their map skills while they practice collecting data in categories, representing data using pictographs, and interpreting data in pictographs to solve a problem. Students will read and/or listen to the story Clifford Takes a Trip. After discussing the story, they will then plan a trip for Clifford to visit the great state of Florida.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson, students will create pictographs to represent data sets with up to four categories. They will use their graphs to solve addition, subtraction, and comparison problems.

This STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) lesson has been designed around a Model-Eliciting Activity.

The Flower Power MEA provides students with an real world problem in which they must work as a team to design a plan to select the best flower arrangement for a special event. The resource was primarily designed as an MEA so the time and teacher instructions are based on the MEA format. The additional activities will take several hours of instruction but include watching and discussing a video about the parts of plants, reading a book, and discussing the art in the book as well as additional art by the book author/illustrator.

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.

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will determine the best variety for a new cookie entering the market. Students will have to consider flavor, smell, appearance, and the number of cookies in the package.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this open-ended question, students in teams will make decisions about how to rank vegetables to plant on a farm. The students' decisions will be based on various criteria.

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. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought process. MEAs follow a problem-based, student centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will collect data from the book "Graphing with Tally O'Malley," and represent the data using tally marks and pictographs.

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will collect and represent data about their favorite ice cream flavors by creating a class tally chart. The students will then work in pairs to use the same data to create a pictograph. Students will use the data displays to answer questions about the total number of data points and to compare the categories.

Type: Lesson Plan

Help Ms. Griffin's class use pictographs to answer questions about the data they collected on their class's favorite ice cream flavors in this interactive student tutorial.

Type: Original Student Tutorial

Learn how to organize collected data about ice cream to create your own pictographs in this interactive student tutorial.

Type: Original Student Tutorial

Learn how to organize data in three categories as well as represent and interpret the data in this interactive tutorial.

Type: Original Student Tutorial

This activity provides a connection between the counting sequence and an experience from students' daily lives. It helps to give the students a sense of how "many" each number is. This task also reinforces many skills related to understanding and representing numbers, such as using tally marks, the word form, expanded form, and place value.
