Lesson 11

Preguntas sobre datos

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to ask and answer questions about a given set of categorical data represented in picture and bar graphs.

Lesson Narrative

In previous lessons, students interpreted picture graphs and bar graphs and answered questions using the data presented in graphs. In this lessons, students generate their own questions about the data represented in the graphs they created in the previous lesson. They use their classmates’ picture graphs and bar graphs to answer student-generated questions about the data. Throughout the lesson, students have opportunities to share and revise their work with different peers. These conversations help to deepen their understanding of the structure of picture and bar graphs and the features that help clearly communicate data (MP3, MP6). When students ask their own questions and answer questions about the data, they attend to the features of the graph and the meaning of these features within the context (MP2).
