School: Conservatory Lab Charter School, Brighton, MA
4. Children Showing What They Learned
The questions included the following:
1. Figure out each child?s height in feet and inches.
2. Make a graph of the heights in the classroom using centimeters.
3. Find the total height, in inches, of the class.
4. Describe the process that we went through in order to make a graph of heights.
[The last group was given access to the photos taken during this activity to help them remember all of the steps.]
1. Measured everyone and some kids measured other kids wrong. We remeasured and got it almost right but get the right answers.
2. Then we waited for a few weeks and we remeasured and got a diffrent height. Some heights were more then their first height and some were smaller then their first height.
3. We measured 3 times and the third time we got everyone in the whole class right that day.
4. We stared to put x's on our plot graph and when we were done we were lind up by our heights and that's how we know we got it right.
