Dot Plots and Histograms

In this lesson students will be exploring numeric displays including dot plots and histogram. Please note that this lesson does not cover box plots which is also part of this standard. Students will sort data into which type of display would be used between dot plots and histograms. Students will fill in guided (skeleton) notes about both types of display. Then students will create a dot plot with stickers and a histogram with painters tape. These hands on activities are used to solidify understanding of the qualities of each display. There is also independent practice and a performance task assessment for students to complete to practice and show mastery of creating numeric displays (dot plots and histograms).
