 * __ Height and Foot Size Correlation in 5th Grade __**
 * // Standard 4: Data //**

// The student uses concepts and procedures of data analysis in a variety of situations. //

 * // Benchmark 2 //**
 * // The student collects, organizes, displays, explains, and interprets numerical (rational numbers) and non-numerical data sets in a variety of situations with a special emphasis on measures of central tendency. //**

__ Higher level thinking and process skills __
 * making predictions and hypothesis based on data
 * asking investigative questions that probe for further investigations
 * synthesizing information from a variety of sources in order to make a conclusion

__ Use of digital tools for collaboration __
 * appropriate online tools will be used to create charts and graphs to record data
 * appropriate online tools will be used to calculate central tendency and ratios for collected data
 * results reports, charts, and graphs will be published in the online public wiki space
