Unit 1 - Building Community Through the Data Cycle
Unit 1 - Building Community Through the Data Cycle
Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas
In this unit, given a practical problem, students represent, interpret and compare data represented in line plots and stem-and-leaf plots. Students also use measures of center and variation to aid in the analysis and interpretation of data presented in practical contexts.
Standards:
- 5.PS.1 The student will apply the data cycle (formulate questions; collect or acquire data; organize and represent data; and analyze data and communicate results) with a focus on line plots (dot plots) and stem-and-leaf plots.
- 5.PS.2 The student will solve contextual problems using measures of center and the range.
Skills:
- The Fundamental Counting Principle
- Line Plots and Stem and Leaf Plots
- Mean, Median, Mode and Range
- Mean as Fair Share
- Measure of Spread (Range)
