Graphing. USMES Intermediate "How To" Set.
Agro, Sally; And Others
In this set of six booklets on graphing, intermediate grade students learn how to choose which kind of graph to make; make bar graphs, histograms, line graphs, and conversion graphs; and use graphs to compare two sets of data. The major emphasis in all Unified Sciences and Mathematics for Elementary Schools (USMES) units is on open-ended, long-range investigations of real problems. In most instances students learn through observing results of their own and their classmates' experiments. However, students may recognize the need for certain facts and/or skills during their investigations. Although some children prefer to work things out for themselves, others may ask for help. USMES "How To Sets" are designed to provide such assistance. Each booklet in a set contains several examples of children using a skill being taught, each example emphasizing a different aspect of the skill or a potential pitfall. The first page tells why or when students may need the skill covered in the booklet and includes a table of contents. There is no sequence to the sets (or booklets within sets) and they should not be used out of the context of childrens' open investigation of a practical problem. (Author/JN)
