draw conclusions and make predictions from information in a graph

Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Mathematics

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students read graph titles, labels, categories, and amounts. They describe what the data shows and make a reasonable prediction supported by the graph.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can identify the greatest and least amounts and compare categories correctly. The student can make a reasonable prediction and point to specific graph data as support.
Common Misconceptions: Students may ignore labels or the scale and judge only by bar height. They may confuse “how many more” with the total. They may also make a prediction based on preference instead of graph evidence.
How to Assess It: Show a fruit survey graph with apples 8, bananas 5, and oranges 3. Ask students to write one conclusion and predict the likely winner in another similar class, citing the graph.

Lesson moves
