|
A. Gather and
organize data from surveys and classroom experiments including data collected
over a period of time.
|
1. Create a
plan for collecting data for a specific purpose.
|

|
B. Read and interpret tables, charts, graphs (bar, picture,
line, line plot) and timelines as sources of information, identify main idea,
draw conclusions, and make predictions.
|
1.
Represent and interpret data using tables, bar graphs, line plots and
line graphs.
2. Propose and
explain interpretations and predictions based on data displayed in tables,
charts and graphs.
|

|
C. Construct charts, tables and graphs to represent data,
including picture graphs, bar graphs, line graphs, line plots and simple Venn
Diagrams.
D. Read,
interpret and construct graphs in which icons represent more than a single
unit or intervals >; (e.g., each _ = 10 bicycles or the intervals on an
axis are multiples of 10).
|
1. Interpret
and construct Venn Diagrams to sort and describe data.
2. Compare
different representations of the same data to evaluate how well each
representation shows important aspects of the data, and identify appropriate
ways to display the data.
|

|
E. Describe data using mode, median, and range.
|
1. Describe the
characteristics of a set of data based on a graphical representation, such as
range of the data, clumps of data, and holes in the data.
2. Identify the
median of a set of data and describe what it indicates about the data.
3. Use range,
median and mode to make comparisons among related sets of data.
|

|
F. Conduct simple probability experiment and draw conclusions about the likelihood of possible outcomes.
H. Use the set
of possible outcomes to describe and predict events.
|
1. Conduct
simple probability experiments and draw conclusions from the results (e.g.,
rolling number cubes or drawing marbles from a bag).
2. Represent
the likelihood of possible outcomes for chance situations (e.g., probability
of selecting a red marble from a bag containing 3 red and 5 white marbles).
3. Relate the
concepts of impossible and certain-to-happen events to the numerical values
of 1 (impossible) and 1 (certain).
|
|

|
G. Identify and
represent possible outcomes, such as arrangements of a set of up to 4 members
and possible combinations from several sets, each containing 2 or 3 members.
|
1. List and
count all possible combinations using one member from each of several sets,
each containing 2 or 3 members; e.g., the number of possible outfits from 3
shirts, 2 shorts, and 2 pairs of shoes.
