Data analysis is part of kindergarten and includes graphing.
Children in kindergarten use different kinds of photographs to represent the answer to a question. Picture Graphs are also used to represent the answers to questions.
There were no bars graphs introduced in this excerpt from the book. Although through further research I learned that bar graphs are introduced in second grade.
There were also no line graphs used in this book excerpt. In further research I found that line plots were beginning to be taught in the second grade.
There was no mention of circle graphs in this excerpt. In doing further research though I found that circle graphs are beginning to be introduced in the fifth grade.
Geometric shapes are learned. What is a circle? Where do we see circles in everyday life? Putting shapes together to make other shapes. Transformations, symmetry, measurements, and patterns are also introduced in kindergarten.
