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.

Investigating forms of data collectionMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This Science lesson covers Science SOL 1.1 i and reviews Math SOL 1.12. In this lesson the students will identify the color of their eyes and use this information to make a pictograph. The class will make a class graph with the option of students then creating their own graph. The students will then analyze the pictograph and answer questions. 

Grade 1 Module 3 opens in Topic A by extending student's Kindergarten experiences with direct length comparison to the new learning of indirect comparison whereby the length of one object is used to compare the lengths of two other objects.
To access this resource, you will need to create a free account for the system on which it resides. The partner provides personalized features on their site such as bookmarking and highlighting which requires a user account.

The students will design and build a tent structure, working within a small group or partnership, that will keep the area under the tent cooler than the area in the sun.  The structure will allow a small toy to fit underneath along with a thermometer. The students will use the materials provided by the teacher in the time frame allowed in the classroom.

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

Students will survey how paper is being used and conserved in their school.  They will create a conservation plan, communicate the plan to the school, and then survey to determine the efficiency of their plan.

Students will dive into the different components of computing systems, as we collect data from our homes to find out what computing systems are most commonly used in our families. Students will practice identifying inputs and output computer systems. 

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 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.
