InterActivate Activity that shows connecting, organizing, and interpreting data- Ordered Simple Plot

__[] __

This activity is very adaptable, so that it can be used properly for many grade levels and instances. This activity can be used for presenting data that students have either collected themselves or been given. Data can be clearly represented through entering the coordinates and the program plots the points for the student. This allows them to review how points are plotted and then interpret what this data means. They are also given the option of being able to create a title that appropriately represents the information provided from the graph.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Students looked at, analyzed, and interpret the information that was represented on the graphs. They did this by writing down, on blank pieces of paper, what the graph told them, in their own words. They answered questions like who they think made the graph and what audience would be interested in looking at this graph. This empowered students because their opinions are now validated and taken seriously. Also, it allows students to think about ways to most effectively represent certain information.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Ms. Darcy wanted the students to address any questions that they had about their graph. She wanted them to question why variables are represented in a certain number, why one line is so different than all of the others, or why the creator chose to use a pie chart. She wanted them question and think about the significance of every part of the graph. She wanted them to thoroughly investigate their data.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3. This activity expands the students' view of the world because they are working with real-world data and viewing real-world research. They are working with professional data and thinking about why the data is represented in this way. Then, they take the skills that they have learned and apply it to the data they have collected. They work with that data so that they can find the best possible way to organize and represent it.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4. When students work with real data, they will be motivated through common interests they have with the data presented in the graphs. They are given a greater significance from the real-world data because they know that this graph was published for a reason and that the public is supposed to know this information.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Through working with and thinking about real graphs students will be able to more easily and effectively create their own graphs that appropriately present data. The more examples of professionals graphs they are exposed to and work with, then the more options and ideas they will have when they are trying to show data. One way to make students practice using different types of graphs would be having them make multiple graphs for the same data and then deciding which graph they prefer.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">6. In this video students were working with pie charts, bar graphs, and line graphs. They could have included histograms and scatter plots. This provides students with the abilitiy to think about the purpose of all of the different kinds of graphs.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Measurement skills, area, geometry, and multiplication were all included in this project of staining a pencil box. It provides practical applications.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2. They were using this activity to connect area and surface area. They also had to use conversions to find out what the best unit of measurements to use.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Students struggled with understanding what to do with numbers that they calculated, what they represented, and what their significance was. The students also struggled with working together in groups as a team. They argued about what strategies to use and what the best method would be.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Any activity that is using tangible objects will help students use real-life mathematical concepts. You could do activities about volume and how many times you would need to fill up a smaller container in order to fill a larger container. Students would make connections about measurement, volume, and area. Lastly, they will learn how to cooperatively work in groups.
