Synopsis

Well-planned units of study teach children to collect, display, and interpret data. Each book contains a complete unit requiring approximately 15 class sessions. Unique lessons help develop problem-solving and math communication skills -- areas stressed in the NCTM standards. The primary-level books emphasize the building blocks of data analysis: counting, measuring, sorting, and classifying. The upper-grade books continue to focus on real data and real problems, while carefully developing key concepts in statistics and graphing.

Students measure and investigate characteristics of themselves and the classroom environment using different scales of measurement.
