Standard3 Lesson3

1. The document outlines a mathematics lesson on chance and data for a Year 6 class. 2. Students will learn to interpret and evaluate data displays, including line graphs, by analyzing a "mystery graph" without a title or scale. 3. Working in groups, students will study the graph to determine what type of data it represents and answer worksheet questions to uncover what the graph illustrates.

Lesson 3 KLA: Mathematics Chance Class: 6B Date:

and Data
LEARNING OUTCOMES LESSON OBJECTIVES
MA3-18SP: Uses appropriate methods to Learn to: Investigate different types of data and
collect data and constructs, interprets and learn how to read graphs in depth.
evaluates data displays, including dot plots,
line graphs and two-way table Learn about: Interpreting and evaluating data
through graph and closely unpack the information

TIME: ENGAGE: Introduction


60 Minutes Recap on prior lessons about data and how to construct it, do this as a mind map.

EXPLORE: Middle
Display Graph to students on IWB
Think Pair Share (few minutes)
What could this graph be about?
What could be that long? Or tall?
Why are there so many columns? Commented [BW1]: By using this teaching strategy it is
allowing students to have open discussion with a partner
After think pair share discuss with the whole class the think pair share questions and for them to share and gain knowledge from this
experience to be able to relate to the topic in more depth.
and the answers that the students came up with. 3.2
Explain the worksheet so students understand. Explain that the graph must be
analysed carefully to get the answers.
Handout worksheet (see resources)
Support Group
Students who need further support can work with teacher to complete the
worksheet
Also teacher will check in to see if students have done the questions on the
worksheet and have mini discussion

EXPLAIN:
This activity requires your detective skills to analyse the information provided in a
graph and do some clever problem solving. Your assignment is to work out what
this graph could be about because some vital information is missing.
To carry out this investigation you need to look at the column graph below which
displays some 'Mystery Data'.
By studying the graph you can see that:
The vertical axis (the left edge of the graph) is marked in centimetres.
The horizontal axis (the bottom edge of the graph) is labelled 'a' to 'm'.
There is no title for this graph. At present it is just called "Mystery Data".

ELABORATE:
Engage students in discussion around graphs and how they represent different
information, refer back to the mystery graph as an example and graph with key
scale in previous lesson.
Give students ideas of what the graph might be about by highlighting different
features in the graph. Ask questions such as why do you think the columns are like
this. What information could possibly suit this mystery graph.

EVALUATE:
Prompt students for discussion to share what they thought the mystery graph was
about and for them to justify their answers, such as why did you think this, how
did you apply this information in the graph etc.

REFLECTION
Timing: Timing was good
Engagement: This activity had students engaged as it was like a game they had to investigate
different information to apply it to the graph
Behaviour: Students showed positive engagement in this lesson. While walking around the room I
noticed students working collaboratively together to work out what the graph could be out.
Lesson Content: Informative
What would I change: I could have had provided the students with another mystery graph for them
to complete and possibly at a higher level as I think students were ready for this
Questions to follow up:
1. Was the activity explained explicitly that all students understood the task?

WEBSITE/RESOURCES
Commented [BW2]: Focus Area 3.4.1
This worksheet that I have provided for the students is
appropriate to their developmental levels. This is also an
appropriate resource for students to further investigate the
topic
