Access Point #: MAFS.8.SP.1.AP.4aArchived Access Point

Analyze displays of bivariate data to develop or select appropriate claims about those data.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Identify a similar distribution when given a choice of three (e.g., when shown a normal distribution, can select a second example of a normal distribution from three choices).
  • Identify the appropriate statement when given a relationship between two variables (may use graphic supports such as highlighted transparency of an association).
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: variable, claim, association, relative frequency, frequency, two-way table, categorical variable, bivariate
  • Explain the associations between the variables using supports (e.g., the selection of the highlighted transparency and make a statement).
General Information
Number: MAFS.8.SP.1.AP.4a
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.
