Learning to add single-digit numbers is a highlight of the kindergarten math curriculum. You can support addition fluency with this guided lesson that takes kindergarteners through an understanding of values. Kids will learn with focused instruction and practice that by putting numbers together, they get a new number. When the lesson is over, kids can continue practicing addition with our accompanying worksheets.
This guided lesson in the letters P, W and N will help kids to identify the letters, and also reinforces the sound that each letter makes. The classic story of The Three Little Pigs provides important context for learning these three letters, in addition to a fun, narrative environment in which to learn them. Don't miss out on the accompanying printables below.
Does a sea star live in the air? Or underwater? Ask your preschooler to sort out the object into their correct categories--"up in the air" or "underwater."
Covering a variety of interesting real-life contexts, this two-page math worksheet gives learners practice turning data sets into dot plots that are representative of each scenario.
Don't let your second grader forget graphs! Be sure to review how to read a bar graph and pictograph with help from this handy worksheet. Challenge your young mathematician to read the graphs and answer some questions.
Kids completing this third grade math worksheet use a bar graph to compare data about transportation to school and solve addition and subtraction problems.
Which picnic games do you prefer? This bar graph shows some of the most popular picnic activities. Students will learn about analyzing data from a bar graph.
Give your students practice drawing polygons on the coordinate plane using given coordinates for the vertices with this sixth-grade geometry worksheet!
Ready to crunch some numbers? This workbook will help your child review numbers and counting, and introduce your little learner to number sequences, order and grouping.
Week 2 of this independent study packet for fourth graders features five more days of targeted practice with reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.
While not everyone will become a data scientist, teaching students data skills will serve them well as an adult. But just because you know it’s important to understand data sets, doesn’t mean you feel completely comfortable teaching data skills, or the math needed to work with data. Take advantage of our printable worksheets and exercise ideas to help you lead classroom activities that facilitate a greater understanding of data.
One of the most common ways to communicate data is with a graph. But there are so many different kinds of graphs! Each type of graph has different visual strengths. Consider these different ways to represent data:
Line graphs – Lines work well to show how something changes over time. They show how a trend rises, falls, or becomes unstable.
Bar graphs – Bars are good when your data is divided into different categories. For example, you can show how many trees of various species grow in your neighborhood.
Pie graphs – A pie graph is excellent at showing proportions. For example, if you want to see what activities you do most during the day, a pie graph will quickly communicate the relative size of your time spent sleeping, eating, playing, and working.
Scatter points – Scatter points are dots on an x-y graph for when you have numerous measurements. They show a large quantity of data and the variety of that data. Using a line, you can also chart the average or show the trend. For example, you could measure the temperature every day for a year. Scatter points will show that some days were very, very hot, and others were unusually cold. But the average line will show overall warmer days in the summer and cooler days in the winter.
Once you’re done practicing skills related to data, keep the concepts coming with our math resources related to time.
