  • Big Ideas
    Numerical measures describe the center and spread of numerical data.
    Numerical quantities and calculations can be estimated by using numbers that are close to the actual values, but easier to compute.
    Patterns exhibit relationships that can be extended, described, and generalized.
    Some attributes of objects are measureable, e.g., length, mass, capacity, and can be quantified.
    Some questions can be answered by collecting, representing, and analyzing data, and the question to be answered determines the data to be collected, how best to collect it, and how best to represent it.
    Spatial reasoning and visualization are ways to orient thinking about the physical world.
    The likelihood of an event occurring can be described numerically and used to make predictions.
    There are some mathematical relationships that are always true and these relationships are used as the rules of arithmetic and algebra and are useful for writing equivalent forms of expressions and solving equations and inequalities.
  • Concepts
    Data displays: Line graphs and double-bar graphs
    Data displays: Stem and leaf plots
    Equations and Inequalities: Use patterns, models, and relationships
    Graphical displays of data: Frequency tables, bar graphs, picture graphs, line plots
  • Competencies
    Construct and analyze double-bar and line graphs and use ordered pairs on coordinate grids. Use basic concepts of probability to predict the likelihood of an event occurring.
    Construct and analyze frequency tables, bar graphs, picture graphs, and line plots and use them to describe data and solve problems.

Description

Using a survey, students collect data about favorite pizza toppings. They create a double-bar graph and discuss their graphs with other members of the class.
