Pictographs

Lesson Plan: Content Standards: 4.1: Collect, organize, record and describe data.

Student Learning Objectives: As a class, students will be able to collect data and organize it into a pictograph.

Assessment: Students will, in small groups, create a question for the class. Students will inventory their data, and put it into graph form.

Initiation: I will ask the students "how they arrive to school?" (bus car bike walk etc.) The students will answer by raising their hands, and the information will be tallied on the board. Next I will demonstrate how to graph that information using a pictograph. Students will then be paired off, and asked to create their own questions.

Lesson Development: One group at a time, the students will conduct their survey, tally their information, and put it into graph form in front of the class.

Closure: After each group has finished their survey, they will return to their seats and individually reproduce their data and graphs.
