This Workshop lesson provides opportunities for students to address missing concepts, practice skills, or extend their learning as needed. Students use tools such as data tables and graphs to represent data. They use these tools to find information and to make generalizations and predictions about a data set.

Content in this Lesson

  • Making a bar graph using categorical data [E3].
  • Making a bar graph using numerical data [E4].
  • Reading a table or bar graph to find information about a data set [E7].
  • Modeling real-world situations with bar graphs [E8].
  • Making predictions and generalizations using a median, mode, data table, and graph [E9, 10].
  • Communicating problem solving strategies [MPE2, 5].
  • Using labels to show what numbers mean [MPE6].
  • Understanding the problem [MPE1].
