Distributions and Their Shapes


Description

Students began their study of data in Grade 6 with dot plots, histograms, and box plots. In Grade 6, they learned how to construct a graph and how to summarize a distribution by its center and variability.

This lesson looks back at the graphs students previously studied as an introduction to this module. Students are also asked to interpret what a graph communicates. They are reminded that a graph is not only a representation of data but also a summary of a data story. Each of the graphs presented in the exercises are encountered in the lessons that follow in this module. This lesson asks students to start thinking about what the data indicate, how they might have been collected, and what they tell us.
