Mastery Evidence

✓ Correctly define and calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of a small data set
✓ Use 'outlier' correctly to identify a value that doesn't fit the pattern, and explain its effect on the mean
✓ Use 'correlation' correctly when describing the relationship shown in a scatter graph

Assessment Prompt

If your child looked at a set of test scores from their class, could they find the mean, the median, and the range — and explain what each one tells you about how the class did?
