What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read the labels and scales on charts and graphs about prices, sales, or spending. They compare values and draw a conclusion the data supports.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can identify the highest value, find the difference between two values, and explain both using numbers from the graph. They do not guess why a value changed unless the data shows why.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may count each grid line as one dollar when the scale goes by fives. They may call sales totals profit, or assume a graph shows why sales went up.
How to Assess It
- Show a bar graph of pencil sales: Monday 8, Tuesday 12, Wednesday 6. Ask, “Which day sold the most pencils, and how many more than Wednesday? Use the bars to explain.”
