4. Initiation (5 mins):
- Show the learners a mix of colored paper/candies/beans/lego bricks/buttons, etc.
- Ask the students to help sort them. Discuss with the students how we can count them and display the result of the counting
- Invite the students to share their ideas and try them out with one or two of their ideas
4. Online learning (10-20 mins)
- In the lesson, students explore the DigiData Island and help organize the utility room. At the same time, students learn to sort and label information into different tables and charts.
5. Offline assignments (10-15 mins)
Our Group/Class Favorites
Distribute one yellow sticky note to each student. Create a base for a bar chart on the board with different topics, and mark options at the bottom. Students place their sticky note next to the option they like the most. Compare the resulting bar charts and discuss the results. Suitable topics could be: favorite color, favorite food, hobby, or favorite animal.
Charts and Tables
Let's try to create a T-chart independently or with a partner by choosing two things to search for in the class. Use the timber logger's tally to record the quantity of each item in the chart. Finally, compare which one had more.
Let's go outside to find countable things. Repeat the same task with a bar chart.
