Reviewing Data Displays & Data Measures NOTES, PRACTICE, QUIZ

This resource was developed to REVIEW 6th grade math Statistics & Probability standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.4
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5.C
Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.

In order to PREPARE students to meet the requirements of the 7th grade math Statistics & Probability standards:

Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.B.3
Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.B.4
Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. For example, decide whether the words in a chapter of a seventh-grade science book are generally longer than the words in a chapter of a fourth-grade science book.

This resource was created with the intent to use for 7th graders REVIEWING the 6th grade math data standards in order to make sure they are ready for the 7th grade math data standards. It contains the following items:

Data Review Check (Pre-Test) - Use this before reviewing to tell if your students will need the review lessons that follow. Printable and a version for Google Forms.

Data Review Notes & Practice:

-- Reviewing Data Displays (Dot Plot, Box Plot, Histogram)

-- Reviewing Measures of Center (Mean, Median, Mode)

-- Reviewing Measures of Variability (Range, IQR, and MAD*)

*Two forms of this resource--one included MAD and one that does NOT include MAD

Data Review QUIZ: 10 question multiple choice quiz. Printable and a version for Google Forms
