Solving Problems with Data
Students will solve comparison, sum, and difference problems using information presented in charts and graphs.
Key Questions
- Evaluate which type of graph best answers a specific question about data.
- Design a question that can be answered by interpreting a given bar chart.
- Differentiate between discrete and continuous data and their appropriate representations.

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
