Students will play the Game “Cheese Chase” where they learn about moving horizontally and vertically on a grid, which will be followed up by a variety of 40 gameboards where the students learn about naming cells in a spreadsheet. There are five activities where the students make bar graphs after interpreting data from a spreadsheet. 

Introducing Data collection and Analysis:
This activity include a data collection sheet and questions to analyze the data.
The activity can be done as a whole group, small group, or by individual students.
Estimated time from start to finish is 30-45 minutes based on prior knowledge.

In this lesson students will collect items in nature. They will then count, graph, and analyze the data they collected. The lesson is set up to use a bar graph, but any graph can be used.

Overview of the activity:The students will sort and graph the items given to them and discuss the way they are sorted. They will then complete a graph of the items, and then we will construct and build with the items and explain what they build and how tall it is.

This is a data collection, prediction, and graphing activity using three flavors of ice cream as the subject. It is a ready-made lesson with a Google Slideshow that has all of the activities built into it.

The student will identify and interpret data and organize it in order  to make a prediction, with or without a computing device.

This engaging lesson offers students multiple opportunities to collect data and create their own charts and graphs as they rotate through fun and exciting stations that incorporate computer science, math, science, and visual art.

During this activity, students will read s blend words, document the different blends they encounter, and graph the results.This is a practice in reading consonant blends, using tally marks for counting/documenting data, and graphing to represent that data.

Target Toss Graphing is a fun way for students to begin graphing and data analysis. In this lesson, students will work in either a small group, math rotation station, partners, or individually to collect, graph, and analyze data. The students will toss a pom pom towards a printed target board, document their results, and create a bar graph based on their data. Once they complete the graph, they can answer the provided questions to test their understanding.
Have fun collecting and graphing your data!

This 4 pack of Tic-Tac-Toe Graphing Games is great for a math station or small group activity. The students answer tic-tac-toe questions by analyzing the given graphs. If they get the question correct, they place their marker on the board . If they answer incorrectly, it moves on to their partners turn. The first person to 3 in a row wins. If no one gets 3 in a row, they play again.

The questions are very basic for beginning data analysis. The teacher can make a copy of the google doc and change the questions based on the classroom needs.

This is a writing prompt choice board intended to be used in a writing center or station. In my classroom we typically use one choice board per week. Students choose up to 4 items to complete for the week. I do 4 items to give students time to finish incomplete work on Fridays, to work on final drafts, to edit a selected item, or to share their writing with peers. You can make the rules for your classroom to best suit your teaching style and your student's needs.

The choice board includes 8 prompts and one Student Choice square based on Data and Analysis standards for first grade.

Please feel free to make a copy of the choice board and edit it to meet your specifications.
