Data collection and representation

Students are learning to make sense of problems in math and persevering in solving them by organizing, representing and interpreting data from their peers.  Students are exploring raw data in the classroom, thinking about what they think they know from the data, how to organize it in a way that makes sense to them and others and ask and answer questions about it.  Over the next two weeks students will come up with a survey question, make a plan for collecting the data, organize it, represent it and interpret the data.  Students will share their findings with their peers, write equations to match their findings and answer questions their peers have about the findings.
