Data Management

Why do we gather and organize data? 

We do this to answer questions and clearly see trends it our results.

We are learning how to organize data. We gathered data by writing the word "signed" (a problem spelling word) as many times as we could in 2 minutes and listed all of our data. We had a lot of data and it was difficult to organize.

My students are asked to watch the  Stem and Leaf Plots video (above) and then organize the "signed" data (in grid book) using the information they learn on the video.

How is a Stem and Leaf Plot different to a bar graph?
We will discuss that tomorrow at school.
