Representing data: Intro to Scientific Method

According to the success measure, what abilities should a student have when it comes to classifying data?

• To understand different types of diagrammatic, graphical, and physical representations

• To construct and use a range of representations including graphs, keys, and models

• To classify data as discrete, continuous, qualitative, quantitative, and select appropriate representations based on the type of data

• To record and summarize data from students' own investigations and secondary sources
