Unit 4: Data Analysis
Unit Overview
- Students engage in all the phases of data analysis as they pose questions, collect and sort information, and make representations of data as a way of sharing their findings with others. They work with Venn diagrams and line plots, and they read and interpret a variety of representations of numerical and categorical data. Students are also assessed on fluency with the +10 addition combinations
Big Ideas
