Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise
Purposeful and Transparent
As the teacher models how to create graphs, she is being very explicit about demonstrating a tool to show family safety results from the survey.

Contextual
Math skills can be used to analyze and communicate data on personal and family fire safety issues.

Building Expertise
Some students will have had experience analyzing data, creating charts and graphs and computing percentages. The teacher will scaffold this activity by modeling and having students work in pairs or groups.
