We are currently in the unit, Data Analysis and Probability.
- Read, construct and interpret frequency tables, circle graphs and line graphs.
- Select and use a graph that is appropriate for the type of data to be displayed; e.g., numerical vs. categorical data, discrete vs. continuous data.
- Read and interpret increasingly complex displays of data, such as double bar graphs.
- Determine appropriate data to be collected to answer questions posed by students or teacher, collect and display data, and clearly communicate findings.
- Modify initial conclusions, propose and justify new interpretations and predictions as additional data are collected.
- Determine and use the range, mean, median and mode, and explain what each does and does not indicate about the set of data.
- List and explain all possible outcomes in a given situation.
- Identify the probability of events within a simple experiment, such as three chances out of eight.
- Use 0, 1 and ratios between 0 and 1 to represent the probability of outcomes for an event, and associate the ratio with the likelihood of the outcome.
- Compare what should happen (theoretical/expected results) with what did happen (experimental/actual results) in a simple experiment.
- Make predictions based on experimental and theoretical probabilities.
