Teaching data and graphing to third grade students combines previously-learned math concepts with making sense of and organizing the information of everyday statistics. Furthermore, it allows them to communicate their reasoning and mathematical thinking. When students become comfortable and efficient in understanding and using graphs, they are eventually able to apply these skills to more complex data analysis.
This Data and Graphing Unit teaches how to use line plots, pictographs, bar graphs and frequency tables. This unit also gives practice for measuring in inches and centimeters to the nearest 1/4 unit. These are all skills that students can use throughout their lives.

Pick a card. Use the data on the line plot to answer the questions on the recording sheet.
Center 9: Measure to the Nearest ¼ inch
Use a ruler to measure the items to the nearest ¼ inch. Record the measurements on the recording sheet.
Center 10: Measure and Make a Line Plot
Use a ruler to measure the items to the nearest ¼ inch. Record the measurements. Then use the data to create a line plot.
Center 11: Paper Airplane Challenge
Take turns with a player throwing a paper airplane. Record each distance to the nearest ¼ inch, using feet and inches. Then use the table to record the data on the line plot. Answer the questions.
Center 12: Measuring and Showing Data
Use the ruler on the recording sheet to measure the pencils to the nearest ¼ inch. Plot them on the line plot. Then answer the questions.
Center 13: Roll and Record
Roll a die 20 times. Count each even and odd roll. Graph Your results and write three questions.
These no-prep practice pages are convenient and will help students master the skills needed for a more in-depth understanding of time. For each page, there is a grade-level standard attached so you know EXACTLY what you are covering! You can feel confident that ALL the standards for Third Grade are being covered!
HOW DO I ORGANIZE THE UNITS?
I chose to store the math centers in Sterilite bins because they don’t take up too much space. It is a tight fit, but I find that they work nicely for me. However, if you choose, you could store the centers in a larger container as well. Within the bin, each math center is stored in a gallon-sized ziplock baggie.

I noticed the price on your purchase page is $8 an not the $5 as listed here on your blog. I’m just giving you a heads up so that you can update your blog price as well.
I’m sorry, I realized I hit the little arrow buttons and posted this to the wrong blog post. It was meant for the 3 weeks no prep learning packets.
Amazing resources.Thank you so much!
