Grade 4 - Data Management and Probability

Standard 4.DMP.2 - Interpret the data in a line plot to solve the problem in a story.

Included Skills:

Data Relationships
• read, interpret, and draw conclusions from primary data (e.g., survey results, measurements, observations) and from secondary data (e.g., temperature data in the newspaper, data from the Internet about endangered species), presented in charts, tables, and graphs (including stem-and-leaf plots and double bar graphs);
• demonstrate, through investigation, an understanding of median (e.g., "The median is the value in the middle of the data. If there are two middle values, you have to calculate the middle of those two values."), and determine the median of a set of data (e.g., "I used a stem-and-leaf plot to help me find the median.");
• describe the shape of a set of data across its range of values, using charts, tables, and graphs (e.g. "The data values are spread out evenly."; "The set of data bunches up around the median.");
• compare similarities and differences between two related sets of data, using a variety of strategies (e.g., by representing the data using tally charts, stem-and-leaf plots, or double bar graphs; by determining the mode or the median; by describing the shape of a data set across its range of values).
