Big Idea

Analyzing graphs and coming up with cer statements is an important skill. But, it’s hard to get practice that involves interesting and relevant data. But, for the holidays, there’s a lot of fun holiday data for students.

For example, I found some interesting statistics from a survey conducted on behalf of the National Retail Federation. One fun thing they discovered: as one gets older, individuals prefer gift cards more and more as a gift and clothing less and less.

Instructions

1. Place a graph on a large, brown envelope. Prepare multiple envelopes with a different graph on each one.
2. Hand out envelopes to groups.
3. Give groups 5 minutes to come up with a CER statement for the graph. After 5 minutes, have students place their statements into the envelopes.
4. Have students switch envelopes with another group and repeat.
5. After a few rounds, have students open up envelopes and read the CER statements. Have students pick the best one to share with the class.

Graphs are available for download below.
