FUN DATA! "Stopwatch Data BUNDLE" {3 Data & Graphing Activities}

Description

This BUNDLE of three FUN DATA! activities, in which students collect, represent, and interpret data in fun ways, all use a stopwatch as the basis for the data. The bundle includes these three activities:

FUN DATA! "Stopwatch Triple-Jumpers"
FUN DATA! "Stopwatch No-Lookers"
FUN DATA! "Stopwatch Second-Guessers"

In "Triple-Jumpers," students work with partners to start and stop a stopwatch as fast as they can, three times in a row. In "No-Lookers," students work with partners to try to stop a stopwatch at an exact number of seconds without looking. In "Second-Guessers," students work with partners to try to stop a stopwatch at exactly one second.

In each activity, students record data in a table, represent the data with a graph or chart, and then answer questions and interpret the data. Who knew a stopwatch could lead to all of that? (NOTE: The stopwatch can be an actual physical stopwatch, the stopwatch app on a phone or tablet, or a stopwatch on a device like a computer or Chromebook with a simple search for "stopwatch.")

Each resource includes the student activity pages, teacher information, pacing guide, tips, and extensions. It also includes a thorough slideshow introduction that walks students through the main points of each activity. (The slideshow comes in two formats: PowerPoint and Google Slides.)

CCSSMP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.

CCSSMP3

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and-if there is a flaw in an argument-explain what it is. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.

CCSSMP4

Model with mathematics. Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace. In early grades, this might be as simple as writing an addition equation to describe a situation. In middle grades, a student might apply proportional reasoning to plan a school event or analyze a problem in the community. By high school, a student might use geometry to solve a design problem or use a function to describe how one quantity of interest depends on another. Mathematically proficient students who can apply what they know are comfortable making assumptions and approximations to simplify a complicated situation, realizing that these may need revision later. They are able to identify important quantities in a practical situation and map their relationships using such tools as diagrams, two-way tables, graphs, flowcharts and formulas. They can analyze those relationships mathematically to draw conclusions. They routinely interpret their mathematical results in the context of the situation and reflect on whether the results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose.
