A. Data Analysis
- Collect, generate, organize, and display data.
- Data generated from surveys
- Read, interpret, select, construct, analyze, generate questions
about, and draw inferences from displays of data.
- Bar graph, line graph, circle graph, table
- Range, median, and mean
- Respond to questions about data and generate their own questions
and hypotheses.
B. Probability
- Determine probabilities of events.
- Event, probability of an event
- Probability of certain event is 1 and of impossible event
is 0
- Determine probability using intuitive, experimental, and theoretical
methods (e.g., using model of picking items of different colors
from a bag).
- Given numbers of various types of items in a bag, what is
the probability that an item of one type will be picked
- Given data obtained experimentally, what is the likely distribution
of items in the bag
- Model situations involving probability using simulations (with
spinners, dice) and theoretical models.
C. Discrete Mathematics-Systematic Listing and Counting
- Solve counting problems and justify that all possibilities have
been enumerated without duplication.
- Organized lists, charts, tree diagrams, tables
- Explore the multiplication principle of counting in simple situations
by representing all possibilities in an organized way (e.g., you
can make 3 x 4 = 12 outfits using 3 shirts and 4 skirts).
D. Discrete Mathematics-Vertex-Edge Graphs and Algorithms
- Devise strategies for winning simple games (e.g., start with
two piles of objects, each of two players in turn removes any
number of objects from a single pile, and the person to take the
last group of objects wins) and express those strategies as sets
of directions.
