   In this online activity the student is given a bookcase of cute items to arrange in patterns that they create around a bedroom.

  4.  Use objects, pictures, numbers and other symbols to represent a problem situation.

1. Introduction to Coordinate Graphing

   Introduce elementary students to coordinate graphing through seasonal coloring activities.   The fall Jack-O-Lantern activity requires students to use the grid code and crayons or markers to create a jack-o-lantern on a blank 9x9 grid.   The use of letters on the horizontal axis and numbers on the vertical axis introduces young students to coordinate pairs without the confusion of the standard (h,v) format.   Notice that it is important that elementary students become accustomed to listing the horizontal coordinate first as this will transfer to the Cartesian coordinates they will use in later grades.

  5.  Understand equivalence and extend the concept to situations involving symbols; e.g., 4 + 5 = 9 and 9 = 4 + 5, and 4 + 5 = 3 + 6 = ∆ + □…

  6.  Use symbols to represent unknown quantities and identify values for symbols in an expression or equation using addition and subtraction; e.g., □ + О = 10, ∆ - 2 = 4.

7. Describe qualitative and quantitative changes, especially those involving addition and subtraction; e.g., a student growing taller versus a student growing two inches in one year.

1. 1.   Pose questions, use observations, interviews and surveys to collect data, and organize data in charts, picture graphs and bar graphs.

2. Read, interpret and make comparisons and predictions from data represented in charts, line plots, picture graphs and bar graphs.

1. ReviseWise - This web site uses colorful animation and great explanations to teach about interpreting different types of graphs. After the instruction, the students can take an online quiz to assess their understanding.
2. Bar Graph  You can place values on this bar graph to see if you can come close to the correct number.  Difficult to be exact sometimes.
3. Bar Graph  This site will allow you to make several more opportunities to work with bar graphs.

  3.  Read and construct simple timelines to sequence events.

  5.  Identify untrue or inappropriate statements about a given set of data.

1. Bar Graph  You will notice that this bar graph has been adjusted to allow you to look at the results totally different from what is true. Look carefully to see the reason how the second graph is not written correctly. Two different bar graphs are made from the same survey of favorite foods. The students need to determine which graph is more fair and why, by studying the graphs and altering the data.

    

7.   List some of the possible outcomes of a simple experiment, and predict whether given outcomes are more, less or equally likely to occur.

1. Box Model - Virtual Manipulative This online activity models a probability experiment of pulling numbers from a box. First, the user decides which numbers, and how many of each, are in a box. Then the computer begins randomly drawing numbers and keeping totals. Superimposed can be a graph of the expected theoretical probabilities. This is excellent to show real v. theoretical probability, and the effect of the number of trials on the results.

8.  Use physical models and pictures to represent possible arrangements of 2 or 3 objects.

1. Pie Chart Manipulative Explore percentages and fractions using pie charts
