How does this lesson fit with overall
unit plan and/or goals for the year?
(1a, 1e)
This 10-day module builds on Grade 2 concepts about data, graphing, and line
plots. Topic A begins with a lesson in which students generate categorical data,
organize it, and then represent it in a variety of forms. Drawing on Grade 2
knowledge, students might initially use tally marks, tables, or graphs with one-to-
one correspondence. By the end of the lesson, they show data in tape diagrams
where units are equal groups with a value greater than 1. In the next two lessons,
students rotate the tape diagrams vertically so that the tapes become the units or
bars of scaled graphs (3.MD.3). Students understand picture and bar graphs as

vertical representations of tape diagrams and apply well-practiced skip-counting
and multiplication strategies to analyze them. In Lesson 4, students synthesize
and apply learning from Topic A to solve one- and two-step problems. Through
problem solving, opportunities naturally surface for students to make observations,
analyze, and answer questions such as, "How many more?" or "How many less?"
(3.MD.3)
Through problem solving, opportunities naturally surface for students to make
observations, analyze, and answer questions such as, How many more? or How
many less?
The pedagogical approach that will be used during the lesson will be modeling.
Learning by doing is a hands on approach to learning. I will walk my students
through the lesson, modeling the process and making thinking explicit through
Q&A.
Students work with data in the context of science (insects) and interpret
measurement data using a chart. The data from the chart will be used in the lesson
where students will first create a bar graph and then answer one-and two-step
questions from the graph.
The lesson allows differentiation because visual representation such as a video
from Khan Academy will be shown. I will use the Smartboard throughout my
teaching so that visual learners can follow along. Also there will be hands on
activities where students will work on their personal white boards throughout the
lesson. Students will also have an opportunity to work independently at their own
pace or with a partner for more peer assistance during Problem Set time.
Students will have the opportunity to partner up and complete the Problem Set
together. I will pull a small group of students to my table who may still need
guidance through the Problem Set questions.
For my students that may require enrichment will be able to answer some of the
higher order thinking questions on the last page.

4. Application problem: The following chart shows
S: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Continue the process for 2 children, 3 children, and
4 children.
T: Most students have how many children in their
family?
S: 2 children.
T: On your personal white boards, write a number
sentence to show how many more third graders
have
2 children in their family than 3 children.
S: (Write 9 6 = 3.)
Continue the process to find how many fewer third
graders have 4 children in their family than 2
children and how many more third graders have 1
child in their family than 3 children.
T: On your board, write a number sentence to
show how many third graders have 3 or 4 children
in their family.

Template.) This bar graph shows how many
minutes 4 children spent practicing piano.
T: Did Ryan practice for more or less than 30
minutes?
S: More.
T: Did he practice for more or less than 40
minutes?
S: Less.
T: What fraction of the time between 30 and 40
minutes did Ryan practice piano?
S: 1 half of the time.
T: Whats halfway between 30 minutes and 40
minutes?
S: 35 minutes.
T: The dotted line is there to help you read 35
since 35 is between two numbers on the graph.
How long did Kari spend practicing piano?
S: 40 minutes.
Continue the process for Brian and Liz.
T: Who practiced the longest?
S: Brian.
T: Who practiced the least amount of time?
S: Liz.
T: On your personal white board, write a number
sentence to show how much longer Brian practiced
than Kari.
S: (Write 60 40 = 20 minutes.)
Continue the process to find how many fewer
minutes Ryan practiced than Brian.
T: On your board, write a number sentence to
show how many total minutes Kari and Liz spent
practicing piano.

how many total minutes all the children practiced.

the number of times an insects wings vibrate each
second. Use the following clues to complete the
unknowns in the chart.
 1. The beetles number of wing vibrations is the
same as the difference between the flys and
honeybees.
2. The mosquitos number of wing vibrations is
the same as 50 less than the beetles and flys
combined
Allocated time: 32 mins.
5. Concept development: (Pass out graph
Template.) Lets create a bar graph from the data
in the Application Problem. We need to choose a
scale that works for the data the graph represents.
Talk to a partner: What scale would be best for
this data? Why?
S: We could count by fives or tens. The numbers
are big, so that would be a lot of tick marks to
draw.
We could do it by hundreds since the numbers all
end in zero.
T: In this case, using hundreds is a strong choice
since the numbers are between 200 and 700.
Decide if you will show the scale for your graph
vertically or horizontally. Then, label it starting at
zero.
S: (Label.)
T: The number of wing vibrations for the
honeybee is 350 each second. Discuss the bar
you will make for the honeybee with your partner.
How many units will you shade in?
S: Maybe 4 units. We can round up. But to
show the exact number, we just need to shade in 3
and one-half units
T: Many of you noticed that youll need to shade a
half unit to show this data precisely. Do you need
to do the same for other insects?
S: We will also have to do this for the fly since its
550.
T: Go ahead and shade your bars.
S: (Shade bars.)
T: On your personal white board, write a number
sentence to find the total number of vibrations 2
beetles and 1 honeybee can produce each second.
S: (350 + 200 + 200 = 750.)
T: Use a tape diagram to compare how many
more vibrations a fly and honeybee combined
produce than a mosquito.
Allocated time: 10 mins.
6. Problem set: Students will work independently or
with partners to complete the Problem Set within
the allotted 10 minutes. Students should solve
these problems using the RDW approach used for
Application Problems.
Allocated time: 3 mins.
7. Exit ticket/Closure: The exit ticket will allow
review of their work and assist in assessing
students understanding of the concepts that were
presented in the lesson and planning more
effectively for future lessons. Students will reflect
on their understanding the next day when we
debrief prior to going into the new lesson.
