Manipulatives Lesson

This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching 1st grade students about data analysis. The lesson introduces data and different ways to represent it, such as tally marks, pictographs, bar graphs, and histograms. Students then practice analyzing the data by comparing and contrasting results and making conclusions. To conclude, students work in pairs collecting and representing data about colored bears, then discussing what they notice in the information. The goal is for students to learn fundamental data analysis skills of observing patterns and differences to make inferences.

I. TOPIC:
Data Analysis -- 1st Grade

III. TEACHING PROCEDURES:


1) Introduction (Anticipatory Set): (You guys are going to be 1st graders)
o Today we’re going to be learning about data! Data is the information that we collect
about all sorts of different things so that we can use our NOTICE and WONDER skills
while we’re looking at it! Let’s try a little activity that has to do with this idea!
o As you can see, there are different questions around the boards! I am going to take
groups of you to go to the board and write your name under the item you prefer, and then
return to your seat!
o (Use drawn icons if we can)- Q’s: Ice cream or cake? Slide or swing set? Cats or dogs?
Summer or winter?
o After kids all put in their polls, we go around and begin to condense the data into
“charts”- this is how we are going to teach them different ways of REPRESENTING data
2) Development:
o Now, what we’re going to do is find different ways to represent this data!
o Let’s look at our first question and figure out a way to represent the data! The
first thing we can do is use tally marks! (write “tally marks” and do a
demonstration
o Next, we can use a pictograph! Write “pictograph” and do demonstration.
o Bar graph
o Histogram
o Now, I have a SUPER important question for my very smart first grade class! We’re
going to do something that the smartest researchers do all the time…and I wonder if you
guys might be able to do it too. Are you up for a challenge?
o We are going to do some DATA ANALYSIS! What in the world does that even mean?!
o Here, I’m going to put you guys to the test to see if you might already have the skills to
complete some DATA ANALYSIS. Are you ready?
o Go around the boards and ask comparing and contrasting questions about the data,
taking a raised hand answer and “I agree” signal if they agree. Ask questions about
conclusions from the data. Ex. Why might first graders enjoy summer more than winter?
o You guys are some of the best data analysts we’ve ever met! So let’s bring it back around
now. Data Analysis is a bid fancy term for noticing things that are the same and things
that are different between pieces of information. Then, using the things we notice,
we can make bigger guesses as to why!

3) Guided and Independent Practice/Assessment


o Hand out the size/color bears, big handful to each group of two if we can, and then a
whiteboard/marker
o Everyone has a handful of the little bears! You and you partner have to collect some data
about the bears, draw it out using tally marks, and then talk about some things that you
notice about the information!
4) Closure: Draw attention to the end of the lesson by consolidating and reinforcing major
objectives.
IV. MATERIALS:
Chalkboard and chalk, whiteboards and markers, colored bears
