We are about to wrap up Unit 2 in our Bridges math curriculum. During the last part of the unit, we have been focusing on graphing data with bar graphs and pictographs. The third graders have discovered that a lot goes into making a graph! Today, we focused on making our graphs neat and precise. Our graphs need to have a category label, a scale with label, a key, and a title. Fractions have been coming into our graphing work as well. The pictures we were using to represent our votes had to represent 3 kids each! When a category only had 5 votes we had to figure to how to cut the picture to represent only 2 kids!
You can check out our finished graphs outside our classroom on the bulletin board!
We also started looking at informational texts during reader's workshop. Today we noticed how informational texts are different from fiction books! This can be a great opportunity to start reading some informational texts at home!
