We start the unit by labeling the parts of a graph using the "Parts of a Graph" poster from my Graphing Posters and Interactive Foldable Graphic Organizer set.
We then talk about the different types of graphs and complete this INB page. This is the foldable that my 5th graders complete.
For the bar graphs, line graphs and circle graphs, I projected the data cards from my computer to the overhead screen so that everyone could see it.
The students do the graphs on graph paper, which were then taped into our interactive notebooks or directly in their notebooks if they had gridded notebooks, .
For the Stem & Leaf, Line Plots and Frequency Tables I copied the mini versions of my Data Set Cards and the students taped them into their notebooks. I wanted the students to be able to mark off the numbers/words they had already used and they would not have been able to do this if I had just projected the data card on the screen like I did with the other graphs.
You can get my set of Data Cards to use with your graphing and/or data analysis units by clicking on the picture below. It come with four different versions of the cards, so make sure to check out the preview.
