Math news from Miss Garcia
This week in math Mrs. Bloomfield and I will introduce graphing. We will gather and count amounts of data. So far, we have only focused on Pictographs. However, the students will learn several types of graphs: pictographs, bar graphs and tally charts. The first grade standard states that your child must be able to organize, represent and interpret data with up to 3 categories AND ask/answer questions about the data in each category. Here are a few examples of the graphs that your child will be able to “read” and gather information from. We focus on stating the questions when reading graphs as: “How many more, how many less” as well as “altogether.”
The students will also continue to take several mini assessments for the end of the Trimester.
