State Curriculum - Mathematics

  
Grade 4
Standard 4.0 Knowledge of Statistics: Students will collect, organize, display, analyze, or interpret data to make decisions or predictions.
A. Data Displays
1. Collect, organize, and display data
a. Collect data by conducting surveys to answer a question
b. Organize and display data in line plots and frequency tables using a variety of categories and sets of data
    Assessment limit:
  • Use line plots with no more than 20 pieces of unorganized data and a range of no more than 10 and whole numbers (0 – 100)
B. Data Analysis
1. Analyze data
a. Interpret line plots
    Assessment limit:
  • Use no more than 20 pieces of data with a range no more than 10 and whole numbers (0 – 100)
b. Interpret line graphs
    Assessment limit:
  • Use the x-axis representing no more than 6 time intervals, the y-axis consisting of no more than 10 intervals with scales as factors of 100 using whole numbers (0 – 100)
2. Describe a set of data
a. Determine median, mode, and range
    Assessment limit:
  • Use no more than 8 pieces of data and whole numbers (0 – 100)
b. Model the mean of a set of data
 

Note: Highlighted assessment limits will be tested in the no calculator section of MSA. In the assessment limit, (0-10) or (-10 to 10) means all numbers in the problem or the answer will fall within the range of 0 to 10 (including endpoints) or -10 to 10 (including endpoints), respectively. All content standards are tested in MSA but not all objectives. Objectives that have an assessment limit are tested on MSA. Objectives without an assessment limit are not tested on MSA.

 

MSDE has developed a toolkit for these standards which can be found online at: http://mdk12.org/instruction/curriculum/mathematics/vsc_toolkit.html.
