Claim 1: Concepts and Procedures
Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and carry out mathematical
procedures with precision and fluency.
Content Domain: Statistics and Probability
Target J [a]: Summarize and describe distributions. (DOK 1, 2)
Tasks for this target will ask students to create number lines, dot plots, histograms, and box
plots. The reporting of quantitative measures (median and/or mean, interquartile range
and/or mean absolute deviation) may be included in these tasks or delivered as separate
tasks.

1. The student displays numerical data in number lines, dot
plots, histograms, and box plots.
2. The student summarizes numerical data sets by determining
quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and
variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute
deviation).
3.
Allowable Item Types*:
Task Models:
The student summarizes numerical data sets by describing
any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the
overall pattern in reference to the quantitative measures.
4. The student summarizes numerical data sets by relating the
choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of
the data distribution.
