3-5
In the first lesson of this unit, students formulate and refine questions that can be addressed with categorical data. They consider aspects of data collection such as how to word questions and how to record the data they collect. Finally they represent and analyze the data in order to answer the question posed.
3-5
In the second lesson of this unit, students pose and refine questions that can be addressed with numerical data. They consider aspects of data collection such as how to obtain measurements and record the data they collect. They represent and analyze the ordered numerical data by describing the shape and important features of a set of data and compare related data sets, with an emphasis on how the data are distributed. In collecting data, students measure with standard units and carry out simple unit conversions, such as from centimeters to meters or feet to inches.
3-5
In the final lesson of this unit, students recognize differences in representing and analyzing categorical and numerical data. Students also identify examples of each type of data.
3-5
In this lesson, students conduct a survey and create bar graphs from the data they have collected.
3-5
Students conduct a survey and create pictographs and line plots. They also determine the number of possible combinations.
3-5
Students choose meals from a menu and then construct a box plot. They use the plot to identify the mean, mode, median and range of the data set.
3-5
Students will construct box plots independently. Students identify the mean, median, mode, and range of a set of data.
3-5
Students create bar graphs and find the range and mode of a set of data. They explore the relationship of vowels to consonants in their names.
3-5
Students create bar graphs and circle graphs and find the range and mode of two data sets.
3-5
Students create pictographs and answer questions about the data set.
