Workshop: Graphs and Averages

Est. Class Sessions: 1–2

Standards for Mathematical Practice

MP2.: Reason quantitatively.
MP4.: Model with mathematics.
MP5.: Use appropriate tools strategically.
MP7.: Look for and make use of structure.

In this Workshop, students solve problems to practice or extend the data concepts explored in this unit. They choose problems that match their ability to describe a data set represented in a bar graph, find the median, and make predictions and generalizations about a data set using a median.

Content in this Lesson

Finding the median of a data set [E6].
Reading a table or graph to find information about a data set [E7].
Making predictions and generalizations about a data set using a median [E9].
