Grade 2 Unit 8 The Wonder of Graphs
Graphs are incredibly valuable tools. In 'The Wonder of Graphs' unit, your objective is to demonstrate to your child the practicality of graphs, how to interpret them, and how to create them.
The duality of the seven/eight-year-old will find themselves reflected within the graphs of this unit. Your child will get some experience comparing and representing data in graph form, allowing them to see and experience that nothing is black and white; there is always a story of grey in the details. They will explore preferences as well as roles and responsibilities to uncover the interplay of such things and then find ways to express this in graphs. They will discover the dance of community and connection as they explore their family as well as the Fables. This wonderful interplay, the dance of life, will be illustrated in graphs and images.
This purchase includes one digital curriculum unit with 15 days of lesson plans and 5 days of flexible projects. This unit will inspire you with beautiful images, clear instructions and exciting project ideas.
And that's not all. You will also gain access to the Wonder Hub, which includes supporting documents, videos, resources, and community.

The third week will focus on pictorial representation of everyday items to show comparison. Flex Week will combine all elements in an independent project where your child will gather all the toys they own into one place, sort them into categories, collect data about these categories and graph their data to show the amount of each category they have. If they decide to eliminate toys that no longer serve, create another graph to show the change.
