Teacher rolls dice and asks students to do the following:
Teacher rolls dice and asks students to do the following:
- Add 10
- Double
- One more
- One less
- How many more to get to ten?
- How many more to get to 20?
- Doubles plus one
- Doubles minus one
Opening: Selfie Graphing Picture Graph to bar-type graph
- Need: selfie tracer, construction paper (optional: google eyes, yarn, fabric, wrapping paper)
- Students create their selfie.
- At the beginning of class each day, teacher asks a question (or writes one in a speech bubble next to the graphing area) keeping the question to only three categories.
- Students place the selfie to make a picture graph.
- TEACHER QUESTIONING: What do you notice about the data? (possible response: 7 kids liked chocolate best; 4 students wore sandals today, etc) What do you notice between the data? (3 more students like music than art). What conclusions can be drawn from the data?
- The picture graph can then be used to make a bar-type graph that corresponds with the data and students can further what they notice in writing. Draw boxes behind the "selfie" to show the data. (Bar-type graphs should not touch and do not need the scale of numbers because students are expected to count the data.

Optional Unit10 Activities
The activities listed below are lessons that a repeat of Unit 01 activities to cycle back data analysis, but extending the data to 20 while staying within three categories.
Sorting Boxes
- Follow up to the button box. (could be done in a work station or as a guided math station or both.)
- Need: Buttons (ask students to bring from home) other items that can be sorted: rocks, seeds, cereal, pencils, books, backpacks, bear counters, plastic bugs, erasers, crayons, makers.
- Items are placed in containers. Students sort the items into three categories and justify the sorting, create a picture graph, and a bar-type graph of the items they sorted.
- Student writes sentences about the data: by the data, between the data.
Counting Cloth Graphing
- need: a pice of fabric, wrapping paper, or article of clothing with a design.
- Students drop a circle (weaving hoop, hula hoop for large pieces, or cut out circle) onto the fabric or wrapping paper.
- Students tally the different objects in the circle (stars, rafael ninja turtle, pink flower, etc keeping it to three categories) and count. Can use a large piece of fabric (or quilt) with a hoola hoop
- Create a picture graph and bar type graph with the data.
- Tip: use sticky notes or pre-cut papers so that all the bar-type graphs are using the same size as opposed to having students draw their own rectangles for the bar-type graph.
Inside Outside Circle
- Need: pictures of graphs (can use pictures of graphs students have created, or these can be cut out of the Go Math book and placed on index cards )
- Students on the inside circle have a representation of a graph (either created or cut out of the go math book)
- Music starts and the two circles move in opposite directions.
- When the music stops, the student on the inside gives the card to the outside and asks a question about the graph using sentence stems.
- Students share with their partner the responses.
- Students trade places.
Bart's Amazing Charts
- Follow up to Bart's Amazing charts book.
- Pause after sections of the book to create graphs similar to Bart: Sorting things they like (at home connection) and graphing, Taste test of awesome/awful (could be based on pizza toppings like the book or could do based on breakfast/lunches in the cafeteria), basketball shots with a nerf ball and bucket, measure your foot with linking cubes and graph, favorite types of sandwiches/tacos, how many tiles it takes to get to another students seat from their seat.
- Students say (and/or write) sentences of what they notice by the data and between (comparing) the data with addition and subtraction number sentences to justify.
Literature Connection:
Grandma's Button Box
When she spills her grandmother's button box, Kelly and her cousins try to sort them by size, color, and shape and they earn Grandma's gratitude.
Tally O'Malley
The O'Malleys are off to the beach! But it's a long, hot, boring drive. What can Eric, Bridget, and Nell do to keep busy? Play tally games, of course -- counting up all the gray cars or green T-shirts they see. Whoever has the most marks at the end wins the game.

2. Technology
Dreambox
practicing typing in login names on a keyboard (real or paper copy or screen copy of ipad)
practice routines and getting out headphones
If you have limited technology: create a calendar where some are on tech a few days each week and some are engaged in another independent activity.
3. Review/Preview:
- Two- and Three-dimensional shape sorting and graphing into picture graphs and bar type graphs. Give students a bag with three different shapes. The students sort the shapes into three categories (shape, color, size, etc) The students label their graph (horizontal graph or vertical). Students write a sentence about the three different types of shapes they sorted.
Fluency:
- Finding numbers on the beaded number line and open number line.
- Proportional number strips to represent tens and ones of a given number.
- Salute (one more, one less, ten more, double, double plus one, double plus 2, sum to 10, salute with 3 players)
- Rolling dice (double, sum to 10, ten more, roll 2 and build a two digit number)
Closing:
- Class Share with predictable chart
- Class Journal
- Personal journal
- Partner talks
- Self assessment
