Grade 4 Analyze This! Representing and Interpreting Data
In this unit, students develop a deeper understanding of data analysis. Specifically, they learn what categorical data are and how to represent and analyze categorical data using new, more sophisticated ways including Venn diagrams and pie graphs. They also work with continuous data as they learn to construct and analyze line graphs. They will collect data through the same research process that they have previously learned in “Digging for Data.” The steps in the research process include formulating a research question, making a hypothesis, gathering data to answer the question and then representing and analyzing the data. Finally, they will draw conclusions and present their results.
