Standard Identifier: K-2.DA.8
Content Area: Computer Science
Grade Range: K–2
Concept: Data & Analysis
Subconcept: Collection, Visualization, & Transformation
Practice(s): Developing and Using Abstractions, Communicating About Computing (4.4, 7.1)

Standard:
Collect and present data in various visual formats.

Descriptive Statement:
Data can be collected and presented in various visual formats. For example, students could measure temperature changes throughout a day. They could then discuss ways to display the data visually. Students could extend the activity by writing different narratives based on collected data, such as a story that begins in the morning when temperatures are low and one that begins in the afternoon when the sun is high and temperatures are higher. (CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy RL.K.9, RL.1.9, RL.2.9, W.K.3, W.1.3, W.2.3). Alternatively, students collect peers' favorite flavor of ice cream and brainstorm differing ways to display the data. In groups, students can choose to display and present the data in a format of their choice. (CA CCSS for Mathematics K.MD.3, 1.MD.4, 2.MD.10)
