6th Grade Math Guide

Unit 8: Data Sets and Distributions For each lesson indicated, initial the box for each “Are You Ready For More?” you have completed. Lesson I can statement and corresponding standard Date Completed Initials 8.1: Got Data? I can collect the correct data to answer a question and use the correct units. (Standard 6.SP) 8.2: Statistical Questions I can tell statistical questions from non-statistical questions and explain the difference. (Standard 6.SP. 1) 6th grade Honor’s Objective Tracker

8.3: Representing Data Graphically

I can use tables, dot plots, and bar graphs to represent distributions of data. (Standard 6.SP.4) I can describe the center and spread of data from a dot plot. (Standard 6.SP.4) I can use a dot plot to represent the distribution of a data set and answer questions about the real- world situation. (Standard 6.SP.2) I can use a histogram to get information about the distribution of data and explain what it means in a real-world situation. (Standard 6.SP.4) I can use a histogram to describe the distribution of data and determine a typical value for the data. (Standards 6.SP.2 and 6.SP.4) I can describe the shape and features of a histogram and explain what they mean in the context of the data. (Standards 6.SP.2 and 6.SP.4) I can explain how the mean for a data set represents a “fair share”. (Standard 6.SP.3) I know what the mean absolute deviation (MAD) measures and what information it provides. (Standard 6.SP.5)
