Key ideas around measurement and data.
with guest Kyle Pearce
- Measurement and Data is a chance and an excuse to strengthen fluency and number sense.
- Use visual representations (graphs, charts, etc.) of data to support the understanding of concepts like average. Don't just jump to the algorithm!
- Context and a relatable one at that will make data more meaningful to student learning. Get students curious about the visual of a chart or graph. What can you find out?

Just curious, how would you solve the first one if a child has not started algebra as yet? That's the only method coming to mind. How else can I facilitate this?
