Notice & Wonder: Roller Coasters
Data Story
Students compare the number of roller coasters at four amusement parks and then see the same information displayed on a bar graph. As more parks are added, students compare quantities, identify equal amounts, and use data to answer questions. Students will: Read information from case cards. Compare quantities represented on a bar graph. Determine how many more one quantity is than another. Identify equal values on a graph. Use a bar graph to answer questions about data. Describe observations using evidence from a graph. Big Mathematical Idea: Bar graphs help us compare quantities and identify which groups have more, fewer, or the same amount.
