Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories.
Ask and answer questions about the total number of data points.
Ask and answer questions about how many in each category.
Ask and answer questions about how many more or less are in one category than in another.
Step 1: Lesson Standards & Learning Goals
Students are expected to pose questions, collect data, analyze data (including representing data in a chart), and interpret data.
Students should be posing questions that yield categorical data with up to three categories (e.g., eye color, favorite dinner food, age, number of pets at home, etc.).
Ask and answer questions about the total number of data points.
Add up to 3 numbers
Ask and answer questions about how many in each category.
Create tally charts
Compare values
Ask and answer questions about how many more or less are in one category than in another.
Use Compare-Difference Unknown problem structure
How is data collected, analyzed, and represented?
How can the collection, organization, interpretation, and display of data be used to answer questions?

Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories.
Pose questions that yield categorical data.
Create a table or tally chart using data.
Ask and answer questions about the total number of data points.
Analyze and interpret data, both verbally and in written form, using appropriate vocabulary (less than, more than, etc.).
Categorical data represents information that can be divided into groups (ex. favorite ice cream, pets vs. no pets, eye color)
A graph is a visual representation of the data collected.
Graphs make it easier to compare data.
Tally charts are useful in recording and organizing some kinds of data.
