Data About Us Unit
This unit will be an investigation with data and different ways to represent and interpret data sets.
Unit Question
How do we use information to make judgments and decisions about the world around us?
Content Question
How do mathematicians use data to influence our decisions?

Common Core Curriculum Standards:
- 6.SP.1: Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers.
- 6.SP.2: Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
- 6.SP.4: Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
- 6.SP.5a: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by reporting the number of observations.
- 6.SP.5b: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such by describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.
- 6.SP.5c: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
- 6.SP.5d: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
