Go Math Modified Chapter 10 Assessment
See common performance task link below.
Performance task to be given on Day 3 of GCG 2.
Unpacking the Standards for this Unit:
“1.MD.4 calls for students to create graphs and tally charts using data relevant to their lives (e.g. categorical data--favorite ice cream, eye color, pets, etc). Graphs may be constructed by groups of students as well as by individual students. Then, they work with the data by organizing, representing and interpreting data. Students should have experiences posing a question with 3 possible responses and then work with the data that they collect. Counting objects should be reinforced when collecting, representing, and interpreting data. Students describe the object graphs and tally charts they create. They should also ask and answer questions based on these charts or graphs that reinforce other mathematics concepts such as sorting and comparing. The data chosen or questions asked give students opportunities to reinforce their understanding of place value, identifying ten more and ten less, relating counting to addition and subtraction and using comparative language and symbols.”FlipBook
Common Performance Task with Rubric for this Unit: Represent Data
Students use information from a tally chart titled “Our Pets” to create a bar graph and then analyze it.Click here for performance task and rubric.
Future learning:
As the teacher provides numerous opportunities for students to create questions, determine up to 3 categories of possible responses, collect data, organize data, and interpret the results, First Graders build a solid foundation for future data representations (picture and bar graphs) in Second Grade. (NCDPI, 2012)
