Mathodology Roundtable
Key ideas around measurement and data.

with guest Kyle Pearce

 

Kyle Pearce has a talent for making math come alive through interactive visuals. He likes to get students curious about the math, establishing a context of learning through their understanding before diving into the teaching of content. In his Roundtable session, educators from all around became the curious students, developing understanding of data literacy.
 
Three great takeaways:
  • 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?
