Problem Solving with Length, Money, and Data

This unit gives the children the opportunity to practice addition and subtraction strategies within 100. They will also use problem-solving skills as they learn to work with various types of units within the context of length, money, and data.

The children will be using picture graphs, bar graphs and line plots to represent and read data.

How You Can Help At Home 
-Ask your child to count the coins you received in change when you  go shopping. You can also give your child a handful of coins and ask them to count how much money they have.
- Once your child has learned a few ways to represent data, find something around the house you can make a line or bar graph about (ex: types of stuffed animal, or colors of LEGO pieces)
