1. ECED 7259 Enhancing Coherent Understanding of Mathematics Curriculum Standards (ECUMCS) Data Analysis and Children’s Literature Karrie Kieser University of West Georgia kdentmon@polk.k12.ga.us Summer 2008 Karrie Kieser 1 st grade teacher ECED 7259 with Dr. Luo taught 4 years teach Everyday Math Series

2. Data Analysis and Children’s Literature Rationale Why data analysis (graphing) and children’s literature? Teachers are used to teaching concepts from the textbook, but it is a growing experience to find literature connections and create lessons around these books. I had limited experience and resources with connecting the two areas and thought it would be an interesting and challenging topic. How will the project help teachers and students to understand math curriculum better? Teachers will have a better understanding of the alignment of the standard and concepts across grade levels. Students will have a better understanding of the reasons behind data analysis (graphing) and the situations in which to use each type of graph.
