Histograms with Unequal Class Widths
Students will construct and interpret histograms where frequency density is used to represent data with unequal class intervals.
Key Questions
- Justify the use of frequency density instead of frequency for unequal class intervals.
- Construct a histogram from a frequency table with varying class widths.
- Evaluate the potential for misinterpretation if frequency is used instead of frequency density.

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.
