What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students look at object graphs and picture graphs to tell what the data shows. They use patterns in the graph to make a sensible prediction and explain their thinking.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students correctly state which group has more, fewer, or the same number. They make a reasonable prediction and point to graph data that supports it.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may choose the tallest group without counting or checking the graph key. They may give a personal guess instead of using the displayed data to support a prediction.
How to Assess It
- Show a picture graph of pet choices. Ask, “What can you conclude, and what would you predict the next student will choose? Explain using the graph.”
