Make or select an appropriate statement based upon two unequal data sets using measure of central tendency and shape of the distribution.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Understand the concept of distribution in a data set.
  • Use tools to calculate the mean, median, mode, and range in two different data sets.
  • Identify the measures of central tendency that are displayed in a bell curve, scatter plot, box and whisker plot.
Representation:
  • Use graphs or graphic organizers to compare the measures of central tendency of two different data sets.
  • Identify the same measure of central tendency in two different data sets (e.g., the mean in one data set and the mean in another data set).
  • Read and interpret a display of given data (e.g., bell curve, scatter plot, box, and whisker) to draw inferences (e.g., looking at the frequency of days of rain by month to determine which month I want to go camping).
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: mean, median, mode, spread of data, standard deviation and outlier.

Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14
Cluster: Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. (Additional 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.
