Unit 6

Unit 6: February 7 - March 6
Comparisons and Data Formats

Unit 6 reviews and builds on children's understanding of comparing numbers.  Children are introduced to picture graphs, tables and calibrated units.  Use of these graphic representations help children see information in a way that makes comparisons clear and visual.  As children discuss relationships such as how many more and how two amounts can be made equal, they develop precision in mathematical expression.

Grade 1 Skills:
- Read, make and use picture graphs and tables to compare data.
- Solve comparison story problems.
- Measure and compare length to the nearest inch.
