Displaying Univariate Data
Creating and interpreting various graphical displays for single variable data (histograms, dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots).
Key Questions
- Compare the effectiveness of histograms, dot plots, and stem-and-leaf plots for different data sets.
- Analyze how the choice of bin width affects the appearance of a histogram.
- Design an appropriate graphical display for a given univariate data set.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
