About This Lesson
MATH/SOCIAL STUDIES – This lesson allows students to view primary source materials and draw historical conclusions based on food purchases. Students can also utilize these sources for mathematical calculations.
Learning Objectives:
- Create a line graph based on historical information.
- For younger students you can change the amounts to numbers that are easier to work with.
Common Core Standards:
3.MD.B.3: Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
