for Grades 3-4
 |
Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them |
 |
Select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data |
 |
Develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data |
 |
Understand and apply basic concepts of probability |
Learning Standards
Students engage in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, connecting, and representing as they:
| 4.D.1 |
Collect and organize data using observations, measurements, surveys, or experiments, and identify appropriate ways to display the data. |
| 4.D.2 |
Match a representation of a data set such as lists, tables, or graphs (including circle graphs) with the actual set of data. |
| 4.D.3 |
Construct, draw conclusions, and make predictions from various representations of data sets, including tables, bar graphs, pictographs, line graphs, line plots, and tallies. |
| 4.D.4 |
Represent the possible outcomes for a simple probability situation, e.g., the probability of drawing a red marble from a bag containing three red marbles and four green marbles. |
| 4.D.5 |
List and count the number of possible combinations of objects from three sets, e.g., how many different outfits can one make from a set of three shirts, a set of two skirts, and a set of two hats? |
| 4.D.6 |
Classify outcomes as certain, likely, unlikely, or impossible by designing and conducting experiments using concrete objects such as counters, number cubes, spinners, or coins. |
Exploratory Concepts and Skills
- Explore the concepts of median, mode, maximum and minimum, and range.
- Discuss what data-collection methods are appropriate for various types of investigations.
- Explore situations that involve probabilities of equally likely events.
- Investigate the construction of simple circle graphs.
