Collecting and Analyzing Data
Western Governors University
, Problem Statement A
My students are struggling with the third grade standard 3.NBT.1 that reads students
will use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 (Council of
Chief Officers, 2022. Pg. 24). This incomplete understanding of this standard impacts their
math fluency mentally and effects their impact to understand more complex problems involving
estimating. A possible cause of this may start in the primary grades K-2 where students need to
grasp a deep understanding of number sense and place value. Students do not begin to round
until third grade.
Existing Data
The classroom consists of 23 students. 8 students are English Language Learners, 6
students have IEPs with reading and math goals, and 1 student has a behavior intervention
plan. 12 students are girls and 11 are boys. In this class, there is a variety of mixed races
including African-America, Hispanic, and Caucasian. Our school is a Title 1 school, and all
students qualify for free breakfast and lunch. There is a math benchmark test given three times
a year, fall, winter, and spring. The data for the standard is assessed throughout the school
year, and was most recently assessed during the completion of the spring benchmark which
was given in May 2024. Our building uses an online math curriculum called IXL for benchmarks
because it aligns so well with the Eureka Math curriculum we use. This program allows
students to work through specific questions tied to this specific standard. This online program
is used to collect the data. Students scores are kept in the online program IXL and reported in a
google spreadsheet to keep track of student growth. This data is relevant to the problem as IXL
allows me to see each students score out of 100. I am also able to track the minutes they spent
