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.

    The slope of the line represents the speed of the person in feet per hour. This graph is useful because it provides a visual representation of the continuous motion of the person walking, something that could not provided by something like a bar graph. In a bar graph, the sheer number of columns and their shape makes representation of a temporal action cumbersome, whereas in a line graph, the information is represented fluidly, as it is reality. (See Figure 1 for another example.)…

    Overview Welcome to the Specific Teaching Practices: Math and Science course of study. This course of study provides you with an opportunity to learn how to teach two of the most important subjects in elementary school. Many elementary teachers suggest that they do not like mathematics or science. It is also known that teachers do not spend as much time teaching subjects they do not enjoy or find personally interesting. If you enjoy mathematics and science, this course of study will give you a chance to have fun extending what you know about the subjects and practicing with interesting and creative ways to teach children science and math concepts and procedures. If you do not already enjoy these subjects, the experience of working through the reading assignments and learning activities in this course of study may help you find a new appreciation for two fascinating subjects. Have you ever seen an elementary student struggle in math or science? Were you one of those students? If so, perhaps you can remember feeling confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated at times. Teachers want to help their students avoid those feelings, and that is why it is so important for them to develop not only a strong knowledge base, but also a sense of confidence in and enthusiasm for mathematics and science. Throughout this course of study, you will strengthen your understanding in key mathematics and science competencies. Those competencies emphasize an approach that represents the kind of balanced instruction that is necessary in the nation's schools today-that of both content and computation, or process and product. You have…
