Data Analysis and Probability

Early Childhood Grades PreK-2

First Grade

Represent and Interpret data

Collect, organize, and represent data with up to 3 categories

Be able to ask and answer questions about:

The total amount of data

How many in each category

How many more or less in one category than in another

Kindergarten

Use object and picture graphs to represent the data

Draw conclusions from the graphs

Classify objects into 2-3 categories

Data cannot exceed 20 in each category

Sort the categories by count

Elementary Grades 3-5

Third Grade

Represent and interpret data

Generate measurement data

Measure objects using a ruler with halves and fourths

Collect, organize, classify, and interpret data with multiple categories

Draw a scaled picture and bar graph to represent a data set with several categories

Solve one and two step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information from graphs

Middle Grades 6-8

Sixth Grade

Eighth Grade

Second Grade

Represent and interpret data

Draw a picture graph or bar graph to represent data

Solve put-together, take apart, and compare problems using information from graphs

Draw conclusions from these graphs

Can use up to 4 categories

Generate measurement data

Organize this data in a line plot using a horizontal scale

Measure objects in whole unit lengths

Show data by making a line plot with a horizontal scale marked with whole numbers, halves, and quarters

Draw conclusions from object graphs, picture graphs, t-charts, tallies and bar graphs

Fourth Grade

Represent and interpret data

Create a line plot to display a data set

Interpret the line plot

Fifth Grade

Represent and interpret data

Create a line plot consisting of unit fractions

Use operations on fractions to solve problems related to the line plot

Develop understanding of statistical variability

Differentiate between statistical and non-statistical questions

Use center, spread, and shape to describe the distribution of a set of data collected to answer a statistical question

Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number

Select and create an appropriate display for numerical data: dot plots, histograms, and box plots

Describe numerical data sets in relation to their real-world context

State the sample size

Describe the qualitative aspects of the data

Give measures of center

Find measures of variability using a number line

Describe the overall pattern of the distribution

Justify the choices for measure of center and measure of variability based on the shape of the distribution

Describe the impact that inserting or deleting a data point has on the measures of center a data set

Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data

Draw an approximate line of best fit on a scatter plot that appears to have a linear association and informally assess the fit of the line to the data points

Apply concepts of an approximate line of best fit in real-world situations

Investigate bivariate data

Describe patterns observed on a scatter plot, including clustering, outliers, and association

Graph the bivariate data on a scatter plot

Collect bivariate data

Find an approximate equation for the line of best fit using two appropriate data points

Interpret the slope and intercept

Solve problems using the equation

Organize data in matrices with rational numbers and apply to real-world and mathematical situations

A matrix is a way to organize data

Recognize that a đť‘š Ă— đť‘› matrix has đť‘š rows and đť‘› columns

Add and subtract matrices of the same size

Multiply a matrix by a scalar
