Anyway, we drew our line plots, histograms and box plots on the desks this past week. I could definitely tell that allowing my students an opportunity to do something different kept them motivated and willing to work. The dry erase markers are easy to clean off of our desks using some tissue and hand sanitizer. I have found that the green dry erase markers are a little more tough to get off, but nothing a little elbow grease and a Clorox wipe couldn't handle.
Using the motivation of writing on the desks, we managed to cover the basics of a box plot and how to use our upper and lower quartiles pretty quickly which I was happy about because testing is coming up. After our state assessments I'll go back through these points again, and we'll do a STEM lab involving data that we gather from paper airplane flying to create our data displays. I'll be writing about that in the next few weeks, but if you happen to be looking for a fun interactive math lab, you can go {HERE} to check it out.
Have a great week! Thanks for stopping by for a little Mid-Week Math Motivation!
