Graphing Ordered Pairs and Data Interpretation

In this lesson, fifth graders learn how to graph data using a coordinate grid. The teacher guides students through graphing outdoor temperature data and windows repaired data, explaining how to label axes and plot ordered pairs. Students are assigned homework to practice these skills and are encouraged to self-assess their understanding.

What is the essential question for Lesson 9.3?

• How can you use a coordinate grid to display data collected in an experiment?

• What is the importance of data collection?
