Unit 8

Student Learning Targets

Grade 6

Section AData, Variability, and Statistical Questions

1

Got Data?

I can collect the correct data to answer a question and use the correct units.
I can explain the difference between categorical and numerical data.

2

Statistical Questions

I can tell statistical questions from non-statistical questions and explain the difference.
I can tell when data has variability.

Section BDot Plots and Histograms

3

Representing Data Graphically

I can describe the information presented in tables, dot plots, and bar graphs.
I can use tables, dot plots, and bar graphs to represent distributions of data.

4

Dot Plots

I can describe the center and spread of data from a dot plot.

5

Using Dot Plots to Answer Statistical Questions

I can use a dot plot to represent the distribution of a data set and answer questions about the real-world situation.
I can use center and spread to describe data sets, including what is typical in a data set.

6

Interpreting Histograms

I can recognize when a histogram is an appropriate graphical display of a data set.
I can use a histogram to get information about the distribution of data and explain what it means in a real-world situation.

Section CMeasures of Center and Variability

9

Mean

I can explain how the mean for a data set represents a “fair share.”
I can find the mean for a numerical data set.

10

Finding and Interpreting the Mean as the Balance Point

I can describe what the mean tells us in the context of the data.
I can explain how the mean represents a balance point for the data on a dot plot.

11

Variability and MAD

I can find the MAD for a set of data.
I know what the mean absolute deviation (MAD) measures and what information it provides.

12

Using Mean and MAD to Make Comparisons

I can say what the MAD tells us in a given context.
I can use means and MADs to compare groups.

Section DMedian and IQR

Section ELet’s Put It to Work

Unit 8 Resources

Student Materials

7

Using Histograms to Answer Statistical Questions

I can draw a histogram from a table of data.
I can use a histogram to describe the distribution of data and determine a typical value for the data.

8

Describing Distributions on Histograms

I can describe the shape and features of a histogram and explain what they mean in the context of the data.
I can distinguish histograms and bar graphs.

13

Median

I can find the median for a set of data.
I can say what the median represents and what it tells us in a given context.

14

Comparing Mean and Median

I can determine when the mean or the median is more appropriate to describe the center of data.
I can explain how the distribution of data affects the mean and the median.

15

Quartiles and Interquartile Range

I can use the IQR to describe the spread of data.
I know what quartiles and the interquartile range (IQR) measure and what they tell us about the data.
When given a list of data values or a dot plot, I can find the quartiles and interquartile range (IQR) for the data.

16

Box Plots

I can use the five-number summary to draw a box plot.
I know what information a box plot shows and how it is constructed.

17

Using Box Plots

I can use a box plot to answer questions about a data set.
I can use medians and IQRs to compare groups.

18

Using Data to Solve Problems

I can decide whether the mean and MAD, or the median and IQR, would be more appropriate for describing the center and spread of a data set.
I can draw an appropriate graphical representation for a set of data.
I can explain what the mean and MAD, or the median and IQR, tell us in the context of a situation, and I can use them to answer questions.
