Students will continue exploring line plots and stem and leaf plots to display categorical data sets with measurements in fractions of a unit and determining the range of a data set.

Intentionality…

The purpose of the Day 4 activities is to reinforce key concepts from Day 1. Students will engage in a math talk and will have an opportunity to complete independent purposeful practice. The math talk and purposeful practice serve to develop a deeper understanding of the following big ideas. 

  • There are different types of data;
  • Categorical data refers to a data type that can be identified based on the names or labels given to them;
  • Categorical data is either nominal or ordinal; 
  • Bar graphs are used to compare and contrast numbers, frequencies or other measures of distinct categories of data;
  • The numerical values of a data set need to be considered when a scale is chosen;
  • A fraction can represent a part of a whole;
  • The range is the difference between the lowest and highest values within a data set; 
  • The range is calculated by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value.
