Unit 8 Graphing (Post March) Grade 6 –

Prerequisites

5.S.1 Collect and record data from a variety of sources (e.g., newspapers, magazines, polls, charts, and surveys)

5.S.2 Display data in a line graph to show an increase or decrease over time

NYS Content Standards

6.S.2 Record data in a frequency table

6.S.3 Construct Venn diagrams to sort data

6.S.4 Determine and justify the most appropriate graph to display a given set of data (pictograph, bar graph, line graph, histogram, or circle graph) [NOTE – does not say to "create"]

7.S.2 Display data in a circle graph

7.S.3 Convert raw data into double bar and double line graphs

7.S.6 Read and interpret data represented graphically (pictograph, bar graph, histogram, line graph, double line/bar graphs or circle graphs)

*central angle

* Venn diagrams compare and contrast data

* Why different graphs are used to display different sets of data

* Circle graphs are based on one whole or one hundred percent

* Difference between scale and interval

* Central angles of a circle add up to 360

* Record data in a frequency table

* Construct Venn diagrams to sort data

* Determine and justify the most appropriate graph to display a given set of data.

* Determine appropriate scale and interval given a set of data

* Construct and measure central angles of a circle
