Students collect
information about objects and events in their environment and may
record results using objects, pictures and picture graphs (daily
weather, votes for which book to read in a given day, types of pets
kids have at home). They learn to describe graphs and make interpretive
statements about them.
Five year olds are introduced to strategies in estimating. For
example, children must guess the number of marbles in a small jar.
In refining their computations they learn to recognize when an
estimate is reasonable and how to strategize estimation.
