Showing What You Know

Quarter 1 covered three standards. In 6.DPSR.1, you learned to collect and describe data, paying attention to sample sizeThe number of data values collected from a population to represent it in a data set., finding a data set's medianThe middle value of a data set when the values are listed in order. and interquartile rangeThe range of the middle 50% of a data set, found by subtracting the lower quartile from the upper quartile., watching for an outlierA data value that is far away from the rest of the data set., and displaying it all on a box plotA graph that displays a data set's five-number summary using a box and whiskers..

In 6.DPSR.2, you learned that probabilityA number from 0 to 1 that describes how likely an event is to happen. describes how likely an event is, and that every event has a complementary eventThe event that an outcome will not happen, made up of every outcome not in the original event.. Then in 6.MGSR.1, you moved into measurement and geometry: finding the areaThe amount of flat space a two-dimensional figure covers, measured in square units. of shapes like the trapezoidA four-sided figure with exactly one pair of parallel sides., creating a netA two-dimensional pattern that can be folded up to form a three-dimensional figure. for a prismA three-dimensional figure with two identical, parallel bases connected by rectangular faces. or pyramid, and using that net to find surface areaThe total area of all the faces of a three-dimensional figure, found by adding up each face's area..

Every one of those skills leaned on the same five habits mathematicians use everywhere: making sense of problems, connecting ideas, communicating clearly, checking reasoning, and finding patterns. Today, you'll show what you know across all three standards, one careful problem at a time.
