This week we offer you the fifth installment in a series of videos on our YouTube channel about the seven questions you can ask with Look-Think-Talk activities. We have hundreds of these activities on our website and one way to find just what you’re looking for is by focusing on the central mathematical question you will ask students to think about. Each question can lead to different kinds of big ideas, and in this series of videos we’ll share with you what opportunities posing a particular question can open up.
This week, we focus on the question: How could you organize? Organizing is the first step toward data science, because it helps us see the structure and patterns in data – even when that data is a collection of doughnuts or toy cars. Watch our How could you organize? video to see how data science grows naturally from this question and give one of these activities a try with your students tomorrow. We’ve included two new ones above.
To multiplicity, cheers!

Each week we bring you a new image and activity you can do with your students tomorrow, and we spotlight a feature of the mathematical work that we think is important for students’ learning and your teaching.
