Standards for Mathematical Practice

MP1.
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
MP2.
Reason quantitatively.
MP3.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
MP4.
Model with mathematics.
MP7.
Look for and make use of structure.

Students compare and analyze data in graphs. They review using averages to represent data, concentrating on the mode and median.

Content in this Lesson

  • Finding the median of a data set [E5].
  • Finding the mode of a data set [E6].
  • Reading a table or bar graph to find information about a data set [E7].
  • Translating between bar graphs and real-world situations [E8].
  • Making predictions and generalizations about a data set using a data table, graph, median, and mode [E9, 10].

Materials Preparation

Prepare Optional Compare Populations Targeted Practice. Choose a numerical variable to study from the table of variables and values the class generated in Lessons 1 and 2. Decide how to collect and graph data from different populations. For example, one population can be larger than the other two and one population can be younger or older.
