What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use a map, crash chart, spoken comment, and online street view to decide which school crossing needs attention. They check where the information came from and use specific details to explain their choice.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student reads the chart’s axis and map key correctly. They recommend a crossing, cite details from two sources, and explain why a speaker’s opinion does or does not support their choice.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may read a crash count as a crash rate or assume a map pin shows how many crashes happened. They may treat a speaker’s opinion as proof without checking the chart.
How to Assess It
- Sketch a map with crossing A at the main entrance and crossing B at the side gate. Show a chart with 8 crashes at A and 3 at B, then ask students to choose a crossing and cite one detail from each source.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed school-area map, colored dots, and a crash tally; have them mark each crash and circle the crossing with the most.
Read aloud, 'Crossing A is the most dangerous'; ask students to write what the crash tally supports and what it cannot prove.
Post four true-or-false claims about a crash bar chart; teams point to the bars and axis labels that prove or disprove each.
Use Google Maps street view to compare two crossings near school; students write a recommendation naming one visible safety feature.
