Roll ‘Em

Which sum occurs most frequently? Predict first, then try it out!

frequency of outcomes

• predicting
• testing predictions

Students will predict the frequency of an outcome, then collect and organize data to test their prediction. They will recall single-digit addition facts.

It’s In the Bag

What color, what color… It may not be what you think?

interpreting data

• predicting
• organizing data
• creating bar graphs
• interpreting graphs

Students will create a bar graph as they collect and organize their data. They will find maxima, minima, range, and frequency, and interpret their data to make predictions.
