What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students connect claims in a history or social studies text with information from charts, tables, graphs, or research findings. They explain how the numbers support, challenge, or add detail to the written account.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students identify a claim in the text and cite an exact value or trend from the data. They explain whether the data supports, challenges, or adds detail to the claim.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may summarize the text and chart separately without explaining their connection. They may confuse correlation with causation, overlook labels or scales, or choose numbers that do not address the author’s claim.
How to Assess It
- Give students a short historical paragraph and related chart. Ask, “What claim does the paragraph make, and which chart value supports or challenges it? Explain in two sentences.”

Ways to Teach It
Give groups printed data cards and excerpt cards, then have them match each statistic to a claim and explain the link.
Write three sentences answering: How does the unemployment graph strengthen, weaken, or complicate the article’s explanation of the Great Depression?
Play Evidence Match, where teams race to pair claims with relevant chart values and earn points for accurate explanations.
Compare local election results with a news report, then identify which claims are supported by the reported vote totals.
