MATHEMATICS STANDARD ARTICULATED BY GRADE LEVEL

Concept 1: Data Analysis (Statistics)

Understand and apply data collection, organization and representation to analyze and sort data.

PO 2. Construct a histogram, line graph, scatter plot, or stem-and-leaf plot with appropriate labels and title from organized data.

PO 3. Interpret simple displays of data including double bar graphs, tally charts, frequency tables, circle graphs, and line graphs.

Other Subjects that will be integrated: Technology

Materials: Histogram, line graph, scatters plot, or stem-and-leaf plot Computer power Point, paper and pencil.

Objective: P C The students will be able to construct a histogram, line graph, scatter plot, or stem-and-leaf plot to the needed graphs exercise and show how these two data’s are in conjunction with each other.

Anticipatory Set: The graphs and plots will be first explained about in the form of a computer graphing program and this will enable the student to collect all the data needed to make those graphs with ease and stability.

The teacher will teach what a histogram, line gram, scatter plot, and stem-and-plot is. The teacher will have a visual aid of these plots and will show a power point presentation of these and how they will be used in the class. After the show the teacher will pass around papers of each plot and the students will choose what plot they want to use. The plot most selected will be what the whole class will do and they will have to use it in their studies of the Bat and Clapper Rail.

Accommodations: There will be the same assignments in Braille, and Sign Language charts.
