Interpreting Graphs and Data Sets

Turn your class into data detectives. This guide builds from “what is data?” to choosing the right graph and interpreting it with confidence. Students learn the parts of a bar graph, how line plots show frequency, and how box plots summarize a data set with the five-number summary. They practice calculating mean, median, mode, and range, then apply those skills to real-world questions. Checklists, planners, and ready-to-use templates help them plan scales, label axes, and quality-check every graph. Includes drill activities for bar graphs, line plots, and box plots, plus prompts for interpreting authentic visuals. Perfect for independent practice, small groups, or homework in Grade 6 math.
