Instructional
Activities:
Activity
One: Show the picture of animals and have the students
tell which animal they see the most.
Discuss how it would be easier to tell if the
information were organized. List the animals on the board vertically.
Demonstrate how to make tally marks to correspond
with the number of animals.
Have students complete the table using tally marks.
Now ask which animal they see the most using the
tally table. Tell
them the information collected is called data.
Explain
that one way to collect data is through a survey.
Display survey
sheet transparency on the overhead.
Explain that you want to find out which eye color is
the most common in the class. Go through the list and ask each student his/her eye color.
Record the answers on the transparency.
Demonstrate
how to construct a tally table at the bottom of the
transparency using the data from the survey.
Brainstorm
with the students, questions that can be answered using a
survey of fellow classmates.
Pass out survey sheets and let students choose a
partner. Students
will work in pairs and decide on a question for their
surveys. It can
be one discussed or a question thought of on their own.
Students will share the questions that they have
thought of, with the class so fellow classmates and the
teacher can provide feedback.
Students
will conduct their surveys.
Once completed, students will construct a tally table
using the data.
Students
will share their results with the rest of the class.
The students will choose how they are going to share
their results. They
will have a choice of creating a transparency and sharing on
the overhead projector, putting their results on a poster or
posting the results on the school’s web site.
Collect survey sheets to be scored with the rubric.
Display the posters in the library for other students
to view.
