To collaborate and learn about "real world" technology and
resources that will enhance student learning is going to be very
rewarding for us and the students.
Our project in Gr. 3 helped us to develop our geographic thinking
skills for Social Studies while we were collecting, displaying and
analyzing data for math.
We created a bar graph of the temperatures in Tunisia, Peru, India and Ukraine.
First the students visited each of the 4 countries that we are studying at; World Time Server.com. Next they went to Create A Graph and entered their data.The students need to label the title and the axes which are achievement indicators for the Gr. 3 data analysis strand. The graph above is an example of what the student graphs looked like when they were printed. You could extend this activity into learning about how the countries are also at different times in the day as there are clocks on the pages to see what time it is in that country.
Try out Create a Graph it is wonderful!
I am really looking forward to reading your ideas!
