Lesson 18
Una gráfica de barras pintada (optional)
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to apply their understanding of bar graphs and addition and subtraction within 1,000 to write and solve questions that can be solved from information on a given bar graph.
Lesson Narrative
This lesson is optional because it does not address any new mathematical content standards. This lesson does provide students with an opportunity to apply precursor skills of mathematical modeling.
In this lesson, students analyze a bar graph that has some information obscured due to a paint splatter. Students determine if a question can be answered with the given bar graph. They use their understanding of addition and subtraction within 1,000 to answer the questions and generate their own mathematical question. They engage in a question exchange with their peers in the second activity to ask and answer the questions they write.
