  2. Display the Visual Learning Animations CD-ROM on the SMART Board, use prepared lesson materials to discuss, model examples and provide guided practice problems, providing assistance and feedback as needed to create and interpret bar graphs, double-bar graphs, and picture graphs. Instruct students to go to the following website :  http://www.gamequarium.com/data.html  , giving technological help as needed.
  3. Display the Visual Learning Animations CD-ROM on the SMART Board, use prepared lesson materials to discuss, model examples and provide guided practice problems, providing assistance and feedback as needed to make a line graph from a set of ordered pairs and read and interpret the line graph
  4. Display the Visual Learning Animations CD-ROM on the SMART Board, use prepared lesson materials to discuss, model examples and provide guided practice problems, providing assistance and feedback as needed to organize data by place value in a stem and leaf plot.
  5. Display the Visual Learning Animations CD-ROM on the SMART Board, use prepared lesson materials to discuss, model examples and provide guided practice problems, providing assistance and feedback as needed to make and interpret histograms.
  6. Display the Visual Learning Animations CD-ROM on the SMART Board, use prepared lesson materials to discuss, model examples and provide guided practice problems, providing assistance and feedback as needed  to complete circle graphs and interpret data given in circle graphs. Put students into partners and explain that they will work together to create a circle graph using information they have obtained from doing a survey of something favorite ( ie, favorite food, sport, ice cream, etc.).  They will ask a neighboring classroom for permission to obtain data for their graph.  They will use Microsoft Excel to create a circle graph. After everyone is finished, they will save it to the teacher's folder and the teacher will bring it up onto the SMARTBoard and the students will present it to the class.
  7. Display the Visual Learning Animations CD-ROM on the SMART Board, use prepared lesson materials to discuss, model examples and provide guided practice problems, providing assistance and feedback as needed to find the mean of data sets.
  8. Display the Visual Learning Animations CD-ROM on the SMART Board, use prepared lesson materials to discuss, model examples and provide guided practice problems, providing assistance and feedback as needed to find the median, mode, and range of data sets. . Instruct students to go to the following  website: http://www.gamequarium.com/data.html  to practice finding the median, mode and range of numbers.
