$5 - $10 5th Grade Statistics Lesson

Having trouble visualizing how to "break down" math concepts and how to structure your teaching? New to this grade level or unfamiliar with "how" to teach it? Tired of passing out worksheets? If you're wanting to try something else to see if your students become more engaged and confident in math... Look no further. No book? No problem. Printer broken? No problem. Multi-levelled or split classrooms? No problem.

Imagine math classes that require zero prep, zero paper, zero planning, and slides which not only prompt your students to engage, discuss, solve and prove their understanding, but prompt you to teach concepts at a slow, realistic pace! Imagine not having to write down examples on your board and having more time to assess your students in real time. This document does just that.

This is one my paperless teaching products; where my 89-page Slide Deck will take your hand and guide you to teach following a workshop model. I provide ample explanations, examples, step-by-step instruction, assessment and answer keys. This is EXHAUSTIVE! At the end of this document, you'll find 45 pages of printable activities which can be used for assessment, revision, activities to leave with a substitute teacher.

This was created (and used!) for students in grades 5-7 and works great for older students on IEPs, students en adaptation scolaire, as revision for older grades, or for online learning. Partner work and independent work are imbedded in the slides. Students receive many guided explanations so they can work independently.

Let me teach you - and your students - how charts and data work and how to interpret and analyze statistics. This resource is 50% Slide Deck and 50% printable activities.

• The Slide Deck has been beautified and is loaded with practice, examples, conversation-starters, small group work and whole group discussions. In your Slide Deck, you will have access to:
  • A collaborative revision and check-in or their prior knowledge relating to charts.
  • Why we use charts, and the purpose they serve.
  • The elements of a "good" chart and how to tick off those boxes!
  • Analysis of "bad" charts.
  • Interpreting charts based on numbers.
  • How to analyse a chart for specific information (counting participants by category and total, finding preferences or "favorites," pinpointing specific values, etc).
  • A look at contemporary surveys and careers in surveying.
  • A whole-group co-constructed survey and data representation activity on sandwich preferences.
  • Guided teaching on the construction of a chart including all elements with step-by-step instructions.
  • An in-depth look at making a diagram precise and accurate (i.e. equally spaced scales on the x and y axes, how to represent "0" and how to represent data that fall "in between" the scale values.
  • An explanation on counting values and totals.
  • A collaborative, discussion-based activity on how charts would change if there were added values, added categories, etc.
  • Independent practice creating a bar chart using data about cereal preferences.
  • A partner activity on comparing charts.
  • A look into other types of charts (line charts, broken line charts, pie charts).
  • An explanation for continuous and discrete data.
  • A simple game on continuous and discrete data (with answer keys imbedded in the slides for self-correction).
  • A look into axis breaks.

In addition to the 45 pages of teachable content, games and guided instruction, there are 43 printable activities and answer keys, including :

• 5 math situations where students create diagrams based on data and answer questions to deepen their understanding. Among these situations, you'll find:

  • A survey on electrical and gas-powered vehicles ;
  • A survey about pets and kindergarteners ;
  • A scholarly debate about field trips ;
  • A look into the growth of a plant over 10 weeks ;
  • A study into temperature changes.

• 11 authentic (yet fictional!) real-life situations to interpret data within diagrams. Among these activities, you'll find:

  • "Sandwichs préférés des profs à l'école Paul-Martin"
  • "Vote à l'échelle - président du conseil étudiant"
  • "Températures à l'école la semaine passée"
  • "Céréales préférées des élèves de la 3e année"
  • "Vote des élèves pour un animal de classe"
  • "Plats populaires au menu pour enfants de Boston Pizza"
  • "Boulangeries et boucheries familiales des provinces de l'atlantique en 2021"
  • "Aliments périmés dans les épiceries locales"
  • "Nids de pluviers siffleurs trouvés sur les plages de l'ÎPÉ"
  • "Collations préférées dans la maternelle"
  • "Sports préférés des élèves de la 6e année"

This document now contains two other documents:

• Diagrammes - 5 situations
• Diagrammes - Interprétation des données
