Leap Frog Learners: A Measuring and Data Collecting & Analysis Activity

graphing, math Thursday, April 25, 2013
I use the EveryDay Math program in my classroom, and I feel like there just isn't enough graphing and data analysis incorporated in the program. Every Wednesday I have a shortened math time due to art class, so I don't have time to teach a full lesson. The last few weeks I've been using this day as my "Data Day." This week we tried out my new product: Leap Frog Learners! I put my students into groups of four to work cooperatively to leap like a frog and measure the lengths of the leaps in inches. Each student had a job: Jumper, Measurer, Judge and Marker. The Jumper jumps (clearly), the Measurer measures the jump, the Judge makes sure the jumper's toes don't cross the starting line, and the Marker puts a chip or some other sort of marker down to mark the end of the jump.  To help students keep track of who-does-what, I created name badges to wear around their necks and a chart that shows the rotation of the jobs. This helped TREMENDOUSLY to keep the bickering to a minimum :) After everyone jumped, we worked together to complete a tally chart. Then students completed a graph and answered some analysis questions based on the data. I've also included a practice sheet that I used as homework, but you could use it for extra practice or a math center. I am SUPER excited about this product, and I'd love to give a few copies away! Leave a comment below including your email address by midnight tomorrow (Friday, April 26th). I'll randomly choose a few winners on Saturday. I'm also putting this activity on sale in my TPT store until Sunday if you just can't wait to pick it up! Posted by Angela Nerby at 9:23 PM
