Learning Objective: 1.      Students will be able to create a picture or bar, line, or picture graph with up to four categories to represent data. 2.      Students will be able to transfer data from a table to a picture graph 3.      Students will be able to create a data set. 4.      Students will be able to use data to create a table. 5.      Students will be able to create problems and solve problems using the information from the graph. 6.      Students will be able to compare data in a picture graph.

Vocabulary: v  Graph v  Label v  Title v  Survey v  Headings v  Picture graph v  Tally marks

Language – Sensitive Modifications: 1.      The teacher will read the directions in Spanish to her ELL students. 2.      The Teacher will ask if any of the students’ needed more clarification or have any questions. 3.      Provide big font worksheets for students that have a visual processing. 4.      The teacher will provide written directions on the white board and doc camera. 5.      The teacher will read directions to the class aloud. 6.      Students will be paired or grouped for support during discussion. Some may require assistance from the teacher or more cable peers during this time.

Before the lesson: The teacher will begin the lesson by displaying and introducing the “I can” statements on the board. Then read them out loud and have students repeat it with you out loud the “I can” statements. 2.     The teacher will lead a discussion of the graph. Students will then demonstrate familiarity and knowledge of graphs.  Where they have seen one, or if they have ever made one before. If they know the different types of graphs. 3.     Pre- assess prior knowledge of the subject of graphs. Then the teacher will introduce the vocabulary word and also the definitions of words. 4.     Then have students will repeat the words and locate the definitions to reinforce new vocabulary. 5.     Pass out the definitions and ask the students to match the words with the definitions. By using the doc. camera or overhead projector that will allow students to come up to the front of the class and put up the definition next to the correct word. 6.     Then after the whole class has participated in matching the definitions with the correct word, have students take out their math journal out and write down the vocabulary word and the definitions. This will help students for a future reference. Lesson Procedures: 1.     After students have finished written down the vocabulary words and definitions down in their math journal. Have all students put away their math journal.  Being the lesson by telling students that they are going to take a survey, and collect data and make a graph to show data. Then being the lesson by asking questions, the first question is a.        What type of shoes are you wearing?  2.     Have each student remove one shoe and place it on the floor next to the floor graph that has been label; boots, slip ones, tennis shoe, flip flops, etc.  Then discuss and count the individual data.

Introduction :

 After we have been looking into solving addition and subtracting word problems.Now, your math mission is going to be a math detective trying to save your teacher from the dangerous math-problems monsters. It has come to your teachers attention that she needs to solve and find their hidden answers. But theirs a problem, your teacher has been having trouble fighting the dangerous math problem monsters on her own . So she needs your help as soon as possible !! So hurry!! Rescue your teacher by helping her solve these dangers math problems monsters. Be safe and lets find out the answers that the math problem monsters are hiding from your teacher. 

Don't give up  and may the force be with you!!!

Task:

Your job as a math detective is to create a poster, drawing, or map  by choosing two of the word problems that you want to help your teacher solve. You as a math detective will have the choice of creating a poster or a drawing  or  another form of presentation of your choice to show your teacher the steps you, as a detective, took to solve the math problem monster and get their hidden answer.  As a detective you will need to show me how you solved the problem by drawing pictures,words, numbers, or a map, ect. If you choose a poster to solve one problem then show your teacher how you solved the problem by using words,pictures, or a map.  Please don't use  the same method to solve both problems. If you choose to solve the first problem by using pictures, then solve the second problem  using a map.

Consider the following questions as you are in your mission to help your teacher get the hidden answers by solving the math problems monsters. 

These are the Math problem monsters:

1.) Araceli saved $ 20.00 dollars. Then her parents gave her$10.00 for washing her dads car. Araceli went to the shoe store and spent $ 5.00 on new shoe lances, and $12.00 on a new pair of shoes . How much money did Araceli  have left after going shopping and how much did she spend?

Later that day he found 5 more baseballs at his grandparents garden . At the end how many baseball balls did Michael have all together ?

An example of what you can do with solving the math problems using words, numbers, pictures or by creating a map.
