Florida B.E.S.T. MA.4.DP.1

MA.4.DP.1 is a B.E.S.T. standard. These are the benchmarks under it.

• MA.4.DP.1.1

  Collect and represent numerical data, including fractional values, using tables, stem-and-leaf plots or line plots.

• MA.4.DP.1.2

  Determine the mode, median or range to interpret numerical data including fractional values, represented with tables, stem-and-leaf plots or line plots.

• MA.4.DP.1.3

  Solve real-world problems involving numerical data.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students gather numerical data and organize it in a table or graph. They order the values, find the mode, median, and range, and explain what the data shows.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Given an unsorted data set, students order the values and correctly identify the mode, median, and range. They create an accurate display and use it to explain a pattern or comparison.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may choose the greatest value as the mode, skip ordering values before finding the median, or calculate range by counting entries. They may also assume every data set has exactly one mode.

04

How to Assess It

Give students 3, 5, 5, 7, 10. Ask them to make a line plot, find the mode, median, and range, then write one observation.

1. 01

   Survey classmates on books read last month, build a sticky-note line plot, and calculate the mode, median, and range.

2. 02

   Compare 2, 4, 4, 6, 9 with 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, then write which set is more spread out and why.

3. 03

   In pairs, draw seven number cards, order them, and race to find each measure, earning one point for every correct answer.

4. 04

   Use seven days of local high temperatures to make a graph and explain how the median and range describe the week's weather.

• MA.5.DP.1.2

  Interpret numerical data, with whole-number values, represented with tables or line plots by determining the mean, mode, median or range.

• MA.5.DP.1

  Collect, represent and interpret data and find the mean, mode, median or range of a data set.

• MA.3.DP.1

  Collect, represent and interpret numerical and categorical data.

• MA.6.DP.1.2

  Given a numerical data set within a real-world context, find and interpret mean, median, mode and range.
