MATH - Communication about data

Asakamu alaykum Parents!

I wanted to update you about our math class. we are well into our Data Management Unit. We have explored and used the following

Lesson 1:  Venn Diagrams
	Lesson 2:  Collecting and Organizing Data
	Lesson 3: Reading and Creating Pictographs
	Lesson 4: Bar Graphs with Scales
	Lesson 5: Communicate About Data

I would like you to review these concepts with your child whenever possible.

We have now learned a new lesson called "Communication about data" - students are required to interpret displays of data and discuss them using math language. 

For example: If you have a bar graph about "Hours Spent Sleeping in a day"

Looking at the graph I am about to communicate the following information 

• The graph is a bar graph 
• Each square on the graph means 5 hours of sleep
• The brown bat sleeps the most.
• The giraffe doesn't sleep very long.
• The chimpanzee and the red fox both asleep for 10 hours.

Students should check for the following 

• Did you use the right amount of detail
• did you use math language
