Standard 1: The student understands and uses the tools of data analysis for managing information.
Standard 2: The student identifies patterns and makes predictions from an orderly display of data using concepts of probability and statistics.
Standard 3: The student uses statistical methods to make inferences and valid arguments about real-world situations.
Standard 1: The student understands and uses the tools of data analysis for managing information.
Grades PreK - 2
- displays solutions to problems by generating, collecting, organizing,
and analyzing data using
simple graphs and charts.
- displays data in a simple model to use the concepts of range, median,
and mode.
- analyzes real-world data by surveying a sample space and predicting the generalization onto a larger population through the use of appropriate technology, including calculators and computers.
Grades 3 - 5
- solves problems by generating, collecting, organizing, displaying,
and analyzing data using
histograms, bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, pictographs, and
charts.
- determines range, mean, median, and mode from sets of data.
- analyzes real-world data to recognize patterns and relationships of the measures of central tendency using tables, charts, histograms, bar graphs, line graphs, pictographs, and circle graphs generated by appropriate technology, including calculators and computers.
Grades 6 - 8
- collects, organizes, and displays data in a variety of forms,
including tables, line graphs, charts,
bar graphs, to determine how different ways of presenting data can
lead to different
interpretations.
- understands and applies the concepts of range and central tendency (mean, median, and mode).
- analyzes real-world data by applying appropriate formulas for measures of central tendency and organizing data in a quality display, using appropriate technology, including calculators and computers.
Standard 2: The student identifies patterns and makes predictions from an orderly display of data using concepts of probability and statistics.
Grades PreK - 2
- understands basic concepts of chance and probability.
- predicts which simple event is more likely, equally likely, or less likely to occur.
Grades 3 - 5
- uses models, such as tree diagrams, to display possible outcomes and
to predict events.
- predicts the likelihood of simple events occurring.
Grades 6 - 8
- compares experimental results with mathematical expectations of
probabilities.
- determines odds for and odds against a given situation.
Standard 3: The student uses statistical methods to make inferences and valid arguments about real-world situations.
Grades PreK - 2
- designs a simple experiment to answer a class question, collects
appropriate information, and
interprets the results using graphical displays of information, such
as line graphs, pictographs,
and charts.
- decides what information is appropriate and how data can be collected, displayed, and interpreted to answer relevant questions.
Grades 3 - 5
- designs experiments to answer class or personal questions, collects
information, and interprets
the results using statistics (range, mean, median, and mode) and
pictographs, charts, bar
graphs, circle graphs, and line graphs.
- uses statistical data about life situations to make predictions and justifies reasoning.
Grades 6 - 8
- formulates hypotheses, designs experiments, collects and interprets
data, and evaluates
hypotheses by making inferences and drawing conclusions based on
statistics (range, mean,
median, and mode) and tables, graphs, and charts.
- identifies the common uses and misuses of probability and statistical analysis in the everyday world.
