Instructional Ideas
- Explain the differences between bar graphing and leaf plots and how data collection drives business
- Give each student a handful of colored candy or buttons and have them separate them to find out the mean, median, mode, and average and then make a class graph as a reference
- Line up the class by height and then have pupils graph the heights in their journals and find the median and mode
Classroom Considerations
- Resource will take three days, but can be condensed into two days
- Practice tasks are based on book The Button Box by Margarette S. Reid
- Wichita Falls, Texas is misspelled on resource
- Donations of pipe cleaners, buttons, and other materials needed
- Worksheets are not based on book, they can stand alone
Pros

- Integrates literacy with math
