Grade: 2
Sample Activities:
· Students collect objects such as buttons, books, blocks, counters, etc. which can be sorted by color, shape, or size. They classify the objects and color one square of a bar graph for each item using different colors for each category. Then they compare the categories and discuss the relationships among them.
· As an assessment following activities such as the one described above, young students are given a sheet of picture stickers and a blank sheet of paper. They sort the stickers according to some classification scheme and then stick them onto the paper to form a pictograph showing the number in each category.
· At the front of the room is a magnetic board and, for every child in the class, a magnet with that child's picture. At the start of each day, the teacher has a different question on the board and the children place their magnet in the appropriate area. It might be a bar graph tally for whether they prefer vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream or a Venn diagram where students place their magnet in the appropriate area based on whether they have at least one brother, at least one sister, at least one of both, or neither.
· Students survey their classmates to determine preferences for things such as food, flavors of ice cream, shoes, clothing, or toys. They analyze the data collected to develop a cafeteria menu or to decide how to stock a store.
· Second graders record and graph the times of sunrise and sunset one day a week over the entire year. They calculate the time from sunrise to sunset, make a graph of the amount of daylight, and interpret these weekly results over the year.
· A second grader, upset because she had wanted to watch a TV show the night before but had to go to bed instead, asks the teacher if the class can do a survey to find out when most children her age go to bed.
