Grade 4 Statistics Lesson Plan

The lesson plan aims to teach 4th grade students about statistics and probability by having them play a snowmobile board game twice and then construct a bar graph with data from the game, with assessments of students' ability to interpret graphs and change representations between one-to-one and many-to-one scales. Differentiation of instruction is provided through verbal, visual, kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal activities. The lesson incorporates cross-curricular connections to history, English language arts, geography, physical education, and science.

December 8, 2016

Grade 4

Outcomes Addressed:
4.SP.2 - Construct and interpret pictographs and bar graphs involving many-to-one
correspondence to draw conclusions

Opportunities for Assessment:


OF: Analyze the graph data to see that students have correctly changed the
representation from a one to one to a many to one scale.

Teaching and Learning Activities:


Activating - Show a video of a snowmobile race
Acquiring - each student plays the snowmobile race board game twice
Applying - as a class construct a bar graph with one block representing 3 race results

Differentiation of Instruction:
Verbal: explaining instructions and communicating their race results to the group
Visual: plot the information on large graph paper so that the whole class can see
Kinaesthetic: roll the dice and get up to the plot your information on the graph
Interpersonal: as a class graph the information to come up with a good sample of data
Intrapersonal: do their own part because they have to make sure their data is
calculated accurately

Materials Required
Snowmobile Race boards
Dice
Graphing paper
Markers
Ruler
Manitoba Math Curriculum
Source: Adaptation of Horse Race from Sandy Margetts

Cross-Curricular/Real World Connections:


History: research the history of snowmobiles and races
ELA: write a short story that involves a snow race
Geography: find the type of climates around the world that snowmobiles are suitable
Physical Education: have students get toboggans and large dice and simulate it with
the students
Science: create a science experiment in an attempt to create snow
