Unit 2
3rd Grade
Lesson 18 of 21
Create scaled picture graphs where the scale must be determined.
The process for doing statistics involves four main steps: formulating questions, collecting data, analyzing that data, and interpreting the results. The Anchor Tasks here will involve primarily the third step, for the sake of time. However, on the Problem Set, students will be able to engage with the first three steps by deciding on a question to ask their classmates, collecting that data, and organizing it. While students will do some interpretation of the results in this lesson, such as the most or least frequent response, the fourth step will mainly come in Lesson 28.
