Description

This Google Slides presentation can be used in several ways. It can be assigned through Google Classroom (each student should get their own copy) and can be a completely online lesson with interactive features. This is ideal for virtual or homeschool learning, or in classroom where every student has a computer to work individually! It can also be used as a teacher-led presentation in the classroom, but with the activities printed out (white slides) to be completed by students and handed in. The fun Valentine review activity that is linked in Google Sheets can be completed in the same manner. It can either be done on the computer as a "self-marking" review, or the questions can be printed out and completed by students. The teacher can then take up the answers in class and enter them for the students to still experience the Pixel Art "reward".

The 43 slides include the explanation of a bar graph and the definitions of the 6 essential parts of a bar graph. It also explains how to get meaningful data for a graph and how to conduct useful surveys. Creating appropriate scales and interpreting the data is also covered. As well, the terms Mean, Median, and Mode are discussed.

After the lesson, there is an opportunity for the students to create their own survey question for their classmates and produce a graph, using all of the elements they have learned. They then answer questions based on the data they have collected. This can be done electronically or on paper. There is also an interactive review of terms covered (flashcards) that can be done online by clicking the terms to see their definitions. This could be printed out if necessary, but could also be done by the teacher in the classroom. At the very end of the presentation is a "self-marking test" or review if done digitally. The students answer questions and if they enter the correct response, certain parts of a Pixel Art image appear. If the answer is incorrect, no squares are coloured. When all answers are entered correctly, a "reward" image appears. This test could also be printed out and the teacher could enter the correct responses on the computer to take up the test so that the students could still experience the Pixel Art effect.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots. For example, from a line plot find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest specimens in an insect collection.
