I "mustache" you a question...

As part of our Math in Focus curriculum and Common Core State Standards students learned how to organize, represent and interpret data. 1st graders put these skills to the test and created their own tally and bar graph. Students first created a question to ask peers. They came up with everything from favorite animal, sport, dessert and even favorite ice cream flavor.

1st graders then walked around the classroom, with mustaches on, to collect their data. Once data was collected students tallied the results to create a tally chart and then created their own bar graph. After, we analyzed and interpreted our information.
