Grade 6 Data Analysis and Probablility

6.6.2 Make frequency tables for numerical data, grouping the data in different ways to investigate how different groupings describe the data. Understand and find relative and cumulative frequency for a data set. Use histograms of the data and of the relative frequency distribution, and a broken line graph for cumulative frequency, to interpret the data.
6.6.3 Compare the mean, median, and mode for a set of data and explain which measure is most appropriate in a given context.
6.6.5 Use data to estimate the probability of future events.

Grade 6 Problem Solving

6.7.1 Analyze problems by identifying relationships, telling relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns.
6.7.5 Express solutions clearly and logically by using the appropriate mathematical terms and notation. Support solutions with evidence in both verbal and symbolic work.
6.7.9 Make precise calculations and check the validity of the results in the context of the problem.
6.7.10 Decide whether a solution is reasonable in the context of the original situation.
6.7.11 Note the method of finding the solution and show a conceptual understanding of the method by solving similar problems.
