The following standards were unfamiliar and/or challenging for the group. Click on the link for resources.

25 - [|6.SP.1] – Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. //For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.//
 * Develop understanding of statistical variability **

27 - [|6.SP.3] – Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.

28 - [|6.SP.4] – Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots. 29 - [|6.SP.5]- Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
 * Summarize and describe distributions **
 * [|5.a] – Reporting the number of observations.
 * [|5.b] – Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.
 * [|5.c] – Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
 * [|5.d] – Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
