OTHER:
You will have your data unit test next week, so I can go over a few things with you and see if you have questions. We will start a new math unit this week.
You can keep reviewing the Data Google Slide Deck and your work (and answers) in the workspace.
- It will be a combination of multiple choice, short answers, and making graphs.Things you will be expected to know for the test:- Making a graph: I can't say which type, so you have to make sure you have a good understanding of how to do any of them. Though, I will say there is a good chance the grade 5s will have to make a continuous line graph or stacked-bar graph. For the grade 6s, there is a good chance you will have to make a broken line graph or histogram.
- Interpreting a graph: Being able to answer questions about a graph and its data.
- Making Conclusions
- Calculating the mean, median, mode, and range (gr.6).
- Justifying graph choices: Being able to explain why a type of graph is a good choice for the type of data/survey given.
- Definitions: There may be a a couple multiple choice questions related to definitions of keywords.
- Sampling Techniques (Grade 5) - See info on the Google Slides.
