Searchers still say data management for this strand. Ontario's 2020 name is Data, and Grade 6 expectation D1.2 asks students to select an appropriate graph, determine the range, and describe probability with fractions, decimals, and percents. The printable preview is concrete. A bar graph of fruit votes asks how many people chose clementines and how many more pineapples than kiwis. A pictograph sets each symbol at 5 votes and asks for the lemons. A line plot of swim times asks how many marks sit above 1/2. Students find the mean of 11, 5, 16, and 0. A bag of 7 red marbles and 2 blue marbles asks for the probability of red. Range is named in the expectation; this set shows the graph, the scale, the mean, and the probability.
Ontario curriculum: Mathematics (2020) · Data D1.2 — select an appropriate graph and determine the range, and describe probability using fractions, decimals, and percents
That is the name many Ontario families still search for. The 2020 curriculum calls the strand Data. Grade 6 expectation D1.2 covers choosing a graph, finding the range, and writing a probability as a fraction, decimal, or percent.
What is different about the pictograph?
Each symbol stands for 5 votes, so students multiply the number of symbols instead of counting one picture as one vote. A later pictograph uses a scale of 2.
Does the Grade 6 data sheet include an average?
Yes. Students find the mean of 11, 5, 16, and 0. They also read a bar graph, a line plot of swim times, and a probability from a bag of marbles.
