Description

TeachEngineering Abstract:

Kindergartners measure each others' heights using large building blocks, then visit a second- and a fourth-grade class to measure those students' heights. They also measure adults in the school community. Students display the collected data in bar graphs made from paper cut-outs of miniature building blocks glued on paper, comparing the different age groups. The associated activity for this lesson helps students develop the concepts and vocabulary to describe, in a non-ambiguous way, how height changes as children age. The introduction to graphing provides an important foundation for both creating and interpreting graphs in future years.
