Pictograms and tally charts (age 11+)

REPRESENTATIONAL
MathematicsData & Statistics|Ages 11—13|ID: mt_eKJG-0eC6D

Construct and interpret frequency tables, bar charts, pie charts, pictograms, and vertical line charts for both categorical and grouped numerical data, choosing appropriate representations for the data type

Mastery Evidence

  • Construct a grouped frequency table from raw continuous data, choosing appropriate class intervals
  • Draw a pie chart by calculating the angle for each category
  • Interpret a bar chart comparing two data sets and draw a conclusion about the difference

Assessment Prompt

“When [child] collects data for a project, can they choose the right type of chart to display it — and draw it accurately with correct labels and a suitable scale?”

7.SP.1Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population

Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.

7.SP.2Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population

Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.
