Access Point #: MAFS.8.SP.1.AP.1aArchived Access Point

Graph data using line graphs, histograms or box plots.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Enter data into a graph or histogram using manipulatives, as needed.
  • Identify a graph histogram and box plot and the kind of information each displays (the use for each display).
  • Identify a representation of a histogram as having greater or less frequency of members/events related to a single variable (e.g., compare number of boys in soccer to girls in a graph).
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: best fit line, variable, outliers, histogram, clustering, box plot, frequency.
  • Understand basic information from simple graphs (e.g., interpret a bar graph using the understanding that the taller column on a graph has a higher frequency, the shorter column on a graph has a lower frequency).
  • Graph a series of data points on a coordinate grid.
General Information
Number: MAFS.8.SP.1.AP.1a
Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14
Cluster: Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data. (Supporting Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
