Topic Title(s):
Represent and Interpret Data
Prepared Graduates:
MP2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
MP4. Model with mathematics.
Standard(s):
3. Data, Statistics, and Probability
The highlighted evidence outcomes are the priority for all students, serving as the essential concepts and skills. It is recommended that the remaining evidence outcomes listed be addressed as time allows, representing the full breadth of the curriculum.
Students Can (Evidence Outcomes):
3.MD.B. Measurement & Data: Represent and interpret data.
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled 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 presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets. (CCSS: 3.MD.B.3)
Analyze data to distinguish the factual evidence offered, to reason about judgments, to draw conclusions, and to speculate about ideas the data represents. (Entrepreneurial Skills: Literacy/Reading)
Abstract real-world quantities into scaled graphs. (MP2)
Model real-world quantities with statistical representations such as bar graphs and line graphs. (MP4)
Inquiry Questions
How can working with pictures and bar graphs connect mathematics to the world around us?
How does changing the scale of a bar graph or line plot change the appearance of the data?
Coherence Connections
This expectation supports the major work of the grade.
In Grade 2, students represent and interpret length by measuring objects, make line plots, and use picture and bar graphs to represent categorical data.
In Grade 3, this expectation supports developing an understanding of fractions as numbers.
In Grade 4, students represent and interpret data by making line plots representing fractional measurements and solving addition and subtraction problems using information presented in line plots.
Academic Vocabulary & Language Expectations:
Data, scaled picture graph, scale, scaled bar graph, key, frequency table, survey
