Grade 6 - Statistics & Probability
Standard 6.SP.1 - Interpret the data in a table to create a histogram.
Included Skills: Graphing
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.
