A routine that we practice every day is our Question of the Day. Each morning, the students find their colored card (it matches the table they sit at) and complete our class's bar graph about a question. After we've all unpacked and begun our Morning Meeting, we discuss the data. We've learned how many siblings we each have, their favorite animals, how many pockets they wore on that day, and lots more! Bar graphs are great ways to express information to see trends and information quickly.
Today, Jessica asked us how we got to school. The 18 students who came to school today answered our question before the Morning Meeting. It looked like this:
 |
| "How did you get to school today?" -car- -walking- -scooter- -bike- -bus/train- |
We then made mathematical statements about the data. Today, students said,
"Walking was the most popular way to get to school."
"The same number of students rode bikes, scooters, or a bus/train."
"Driving was the least popular way to get here."
"Five more kids walked than went in a car."
"Half of the red table walked and half of the red table rode scooters."
"Ten kids walked or biked to school."
We are learning a lot about each other using our class bar graph - I wonder what our next Question of the Day will be!
