Access Point #: MAFS.7.SP.2.AP.4aArchived Access Point

Identify the range (difference), median (middle), mean (average), or mode (most frequent) of two sets of data.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Identify the lowest to highest value in a data set given a number line and matching symbols.
  • Arrange data from lowest to highest on a number line.
  • Using data presented in a line graph, identify the median.
  • Identify the mode using manipulatives or a line graph.
  • Identify the mean using manipulatives (leveled plastic snap cubes) or a line graph.
Representation:
  • Identify the mode, median, and the spread of the data using a line drawing of the distribution.
  • Calculate the mean using a pre-slugged template of data points.
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: mean, median, mode, spread of data.

Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14
Cluster: Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. (Additional Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
