Classroom Spotlight - Mrs. Arditti's Fifth Grade!
The students in Mrs. Arditti’s 5th grade math classes have been learning all about collecting data and creating line plots. We practiced creating line plots and graphs from various types of data. Next, we analyzed the data and began to make generalizations about it.
After a week of practice, students were ready to do some real world data collection. In small groups, students completed challenges such as blowing a pom pom and measuring it, standing long jump, and measuring their feet. Once they collected their data, students created a frequency table of their information. Making the tables assisted them in organizing their data and helping them make an accurate line plot. Last, students used their frequency table to create a line plot and see the trends.
We had a great time jumping, blowing and measuring our way to understanding line plot graphs and how they can be used in the real world!
