Abstract: From a very young age, children can explore, display, and interpret data, and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics recommends that by the end of Grade 1, students can organize, represent, and interpret data with several categories. This article discusses how children in PK through Grade 1 explored and displayed data through the creation of glyphs. Each glyph was created in the form of a paper robot and represented each child's individual data. The authors highlight the creative insights that children made as they interpreted their personalized data sets.
