Organizing Data

Today we started unit 6 in math. We will be learning about data collecting and organizing. Today as a class we reviewed the landmark numbers: Min., Max., Mean, Median, Mode, Range.

We then used maps to circle all the states each of us have visited in the past. We used those numbers to make a line plot on the board that displayed the information. 

We learned that people use charts and graphs because it makes information easier to read and find than it would be if it was just listed out. 

Here is our line plot:

OUR CLASS LANDMARKS WOULD BE:
MIN- 1
MAX- 18
RANGE- 17
MEDIAN- 7
MODE- 4
MEAN- 7.85
