  Learning Intentions:
  • I can record data using tally marks. 
  • I can ask my classmates survey questions to collect data.  
  • I can use data to make bar graphs. 
  • I can use data to make picture graphs.  
  • I can identify the x-axis and y-axis on a chart. 

   

  In Math, the students started exploring data and statistics. The students have been gathering data from their classmates with questions such as, “Would you rather have 1 giant gingerbread cookie or 10 small ones?” Throughout their exploration, they have learned to use tally charts, bar graphs and pictographs to share their findings. They are building capacity on answering questions about their data such as “Which option was chosen the most?” They watched videos and read books to help build their understanding. 

  
  

  Learning Intentions:
  • I can explain the difference between needs and wants.
  • I can explain the difference between goods and services.
  • I can explain how goods and services can be traded or shared. 
  • I can identify things that are imported into my community.
  • I can identify things that are exported out of my community.
  • I can understand how things are transported to different places.

• In Social Studies this week, the students continued their exploration and learned about needs and wants. They followed this by learning about goods and services and how they relate to our community. With this, they learned about trading and bartering and participated with a fun hands-on activity where they practiced trading with each other. Later on, we focused on natural resources and man-made products. They studied how different items come into and out of our community. There were some great discussions and conversations throughout the week.

Math:

As we explore data and statistics, please encourage your child to find ways to explore this unit at home. Ask your child to make a tally chart and count how many items in the fridge?
