Math About Us

This morning we spent some time collecting data about us. We measured our heights, our arm spans and our hand spans. We also figured out who could roll their tongues, which hands were our dominant hands, and if our earlobes were connected. We collected the data and recorded it as a class. As a class we talked about how we could organize the data in a way that made it easy to see. The learners felt that graphs would work best. We talked about lots of different ways to graph data. Tomorrow the learners will be responsible for graphing some of the data, and on Friday they will design class surveys and graphs on their own. We also completed our first number talk today. This was designed for the learners to get comfortable with what a number talk feels like in our classroom.
