Math Mini-Book with: •Close Activity for Identifying Critical Information •Questions for Helping Students Elaborate on Knowledge No prep needed. Everything is done for you and ready to go. Just print off the copies you need. Word bank and answer keys included. Learning Goals: • Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. • Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph. This nine-page personalized mini-book with a close activity and both general inferential and elaborative interrogation questions helps your students build a strong foundation for representing and interpreting data. With this reading activity, they will identify the critical content of collecting data in a survey and recording it in a tally chart and being able to interpret that data with empirical evidence and making inferences.
