I "Mustache" You a Question...

As part of our Math in Focus curriculum, students learn how to organize, represent and interpret data. First graders put these skills to work by creating their own survey questions, tally charts, and bar graphs to show their results. Their survey questions included questions like "What's your favorite book?", "What is your favorite flower?", and "Who is your favorite Patriots player?", to name a few.

The students walked around the classroom, with mustaches on, to collect their data, saying "I mustache you a question..."  They had so much fun with this! Once their data was collected, and their graphs were made, we then analyzed and interpreted our information.

Common Core Standard 1.MD.C.4:

 Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
