Pictographs Are Finally Finished!

After a lot of data gathering, analyzing, and discussing....the pictographs are finished. There was a lot of great math conversation happening. There is a lot of planning that goes into making a pictograph. What symbol do we use? What is the value of that symbol? What are the names of the categories? The most challenging part of all turned out to be how to word the question that our pictographs answer. It was hard! After all the graphs were completed, we had quite a discussion. I think we decided that "How much time does does a class of fourth graders spend doing these activities in a 24 hour period?" I think William gets a "quick clap" for that one! One, two..clap, clap! :)
