Grade 6 - Statistics & Probability

Standard 6.SP.1 - Interpret the data in a table to create a pictograph.

Included Skills:

Extend understanding of data analysis to include:
• line graphs
• graphs of discrete data
• data collection through questionnaires, experiments, databases, and electronic media
• interpolation and extrapolation.
• Explain the importance of accurate labelling of line graphs.
• Determine whether a set of data should be represented by a line graph (continuous data) or a series of points (discrete data) and explain why.
• Describe patterns seen in a given line graph or a graph of discrete data points, and describe a situation that the graph might represent.
• Construct a graph (line graph or a graph of discrete data points) to represent data given in a table for a particular situation.
• Interpret (through interpolation and extrapolation) the line graph or graphs of discrete data points for a situation to make decisions or solve problems.
• Observe and describe situations relevant to self, family, or community in which data might be collected through questionnaires, experiments, databases, or electronic media.
• Select a method for collecting data to answer a given question and justify the choice.
• Answer a self-generated question by performing an experiment, recording the results, graphing the data, and drawing a conclusion.
• Answer a self-generated question using databases or electronic media to collect data, then graphing and interpreting the data to draw a conclusion.
• Justify the selection of a type of graph for a set of data collected through questionnaires, experiments, databases, or electronic media.
