What question do we ask ourselves?
What do we need to know and be able to do?
Why do we display data?
How can we display data?
How does the sample affect the data?
Which measure of central tendency is the most appropriate for a
given situation?
What words do we need to know to master the
objectives?
survey
sample
frequency
scale
interval
mean
median
mode
range
How will we master the objectives?
 Create frequency tables, stem-and-leaf plots, circle graphs,
line plots, double bar graphs, and double line graphs
 Compute the mean, median, mode, and range
 Determine the best use of mean, median, mode, and range
 Compare different types of sampling methods
 Organize, display, interpret and compare data in
frequency tables, stem-and-leaf plots, circle graphs,
line plots, double bar graphs, and double line
graphs
 Determine the measures of central tendency of
data (range, median, mode, mean)
 Analyze and interpret data from a data display using
range, median, mode, and mean
What resources will we use?
Multi-digit Multiplication & Long Division
Calculator
Graph Paper
Data Tables
