About the Math
Skills and concepts below are learning goals for this standard.
Organize data in up to three categories.
Represent data in up to three categories.
Answer questions about the total number of data points.
Answer questions about how many data points are in each category.
Collecting and organizing data is an important part of mathematics and lends itself to problem solving situations. It is important that students collect the data by asking questions of the class or taking surveys. Once the data has been collected, it needs to be organized and then analyzed. Students should use tally marks, bar graphs and pictographs to organize the data. Once the data is organized students need to draw conclusions from what the data is saying. This standard builds from K.MD.A.3 in which students classify objects into given categories; count the number of objects in each category, and sort the categories by count. Essential vocabulary for this standard includes: data, bar graph, and category (online dictionaryLinks to an external site., HCPSS Vocabulary CardsDownload HCPSS Vocabulary Cards).

Organize data in up to three categories.
Represent data in up to three categories.
Answer questions about the total number of data points.
Answer questions about how many data points are in each category.
These tasks can be used with small group or whole group instruction.
Have three pizza toppings listed on the bottom of the board for students to look at. Ask how many of your favorite pizza topping is just cheese? Give all the students that raise their hand a sticky note. Show them how to come up one by one and stick them in a line above the word cheese. Then ask how many of their favorite topping is pepperoni and give a different colored sticky note to make a line above pepperoni. Finally repeat for sausage and give a third color sticky note to make the last bar. Count the sticky notes for each category all together to figure out how many people picked each and write it above the top of each bar. Which was the most popular? The least? How many more people liked _____ than _____?
Either revisit or create a graph for the ways we get home. Print pictures of buses, cars or shoes for students to get the one that shows how they get home and create a pictograph to ask questions about. What is the way most of us get home? How many more people walk than ride the bus? etc.
How could you sort a group of toys (stuffed animals, balls, and trains) and make a graph to show how many toys are in the different groups?
Think about a question you might ask your classmates to which there are three possible answers. Conduct a survey and then graph the results by using either a pictograph or a bar graph.
Consider the following data. Should the class use a bar graph or a picture graph to show this data? Why?

SLIDE-BASED TASKS
These links are HCPSS created instructional tasks. These tasks are provided in Google slides. These tasks should be used for inspiration and resources, but instruction should start with students having the opportunity to engage with the math first(often involving physical and/or visual models) followed by discussion and explicit instruction to ensure student understanding.
These publications have been provided for each school. They are typically stored in team closets or the media center. Check with your team leader if you cannot find them.
