Goal 5.2: Collect, organize, and display data. 8.M.5.2.1 Collect, organize, and display data with appropriate notation in tables, charts, and graphs, including scatter plots, broken line graphs, line plots, bar graphs, histograms, and stem-and-leaf plots.

CL: C
Calc: CN
Content Limit: Given data, choose a display. Displays limited to scatter plots, broken line graphs, line plots, bar graphs, histograms, and stem-and-leaf plots. ‘Collect’ to be assessed in classroom, not on the ISAT.

• Collect, organize, and display data with appropriate notation in tables, charts, and graphs, including scatter plots, broken line graphs, line plots, bar graphs, histograms, and stem-and-leaf plots • Select appropriate graphical representation for given data

• Organize data as needed to create visual displays

• Discuss benefits of various types of graphs

Goal 5.3: Apply simple statistical measurements. 8.M.5.3.1 Choose and calculate the appropriate measure of central tendency – mean, median, and mode.

CL: C
Calc: YES
Content Limit: Items should be set in a real -world context. Items may assess finding the range, mean, median, or mode of a set of data presented in a chart, table, graph, or plot (e.g., scatter plot, line plot, or stem-and-leaf plot). Items that assess understanding of these concepts may ask students to draw conclusions from an analysis of range and/or central tendency measures. Data set should include no more than 12 data points. Data set may have an even or an odd number of data points and does not need to be in numeric order. No more than three categories of information should be used in data sets.

• Choose and calculate the appropriate measure of central tendency – mean, median, mode and range • Calculate mean, median, mode and range of data sets

• Choose measure of central tendency which best represents data

mean • median • mode • range • central tendency    
  8.M.5.3.2 Explain the significance of distribution of data, including range, frequency, gaps, and clusters.

CL:
Calc:
Content Limit: Assessed in the classroom, not on the ISAT.

• Analyze the significance of these trends

frequency • clusters • distribution • gaps    
Goal 5.4: Understand basic concepts of probability. 8.M.5.4.1 Model situations of probability using simulations.

CL:
Calc:
Content Limit: Assessed in the classroom, not on the ISAT.

• Model situations of probability using simulations • Perform experiments and simulations and draw conclusions about probability probability • experimental/theoretical • probability • event    
  8.M.5.4.2 Recognize equally likely outcomes .

CL: C, D
Calc: CN
Content Limit: Items describe familiar situations such as spinning a spinner, rolling one or two dice (does not include sum of two dice ), or drawing different colored objects from a container. Equally likely outcomes must pertain to the same event.

• Recognize equally likely outcomes • Compare and predict outcomes of common situations involving equally likely outcomes equally likely outcome • random    
8.M.5.4.3 Explain that probability ranges from 0% to 100% and identify a situation as having high or low probability .

CL:
Calc:
Content Limit: Assessed in the classroom, not on the ISAT.

• Use the language of probability • Define probability terms • Take care in using chances versus odds in probability

• Favorable outcome

   
Goal 5.5: Make predictions or decisions based on data. 8.M.5.5.1 Make predictions based on experimental and theoretical probabilities.

CL: D, E
Calc: YES
Content Limit: Items may include combinations of events (e.g., rolling a number cube then spinning a spinner or drawing two cards without replacement). Items may not include conditional probability. Items may require comparison between experimental and theoretical probabilities.
