Analyze data using technology. Middle schoolers design data investigations, describe data, and draw their own conclusions. Then they select the best type of graph, graph and interpret the data, and look for patterns in trends. They also...

Mode, the number that occurs most often. A data set could have one mode, no modes, or multiple modes. The teacher explains these variations and even gives some example of non-numerical data and how to figure out the mode.

Not all data is the same. Using the interactive, pupils compare data represented in two different ways. The learners develop an understanding of the difference between discrete and continuous data and the different ways to represent each...

Demonstrate several ways to represent data with your class. They will use surveys to gather data and display the data using tally charts and graphs. Then answer questions according to the data.
