Outcomes

7.PS.2

The student will apply the data cycle (formulate questions; collect or acquire data; organize and represent data; and analyze data and communicate results) with a focus on histograms.

7.PS.2d

Organize and represent numerical data using histograms with and without the use of technology.

7.PS.2e

Investigate and explain how using different intervals could impact the representation of the data in a histogram.

7.PS.2g

Analyze data represented in histograms by making observations and drawing conclusions. Determine how histograms reveal patterns in data that cannot be easily seen by looking at the corresponding given data set.
