3.DS.A.1: Ask and answer questions by collecting, organizing and summarizing data, recognizing the importance of context when analyzing data. a. Create a scaled data visualization (e.g., picture graph, bar graph for categorial data; line plot with fraction units of halves and fourths for numerical data) to display collected or given data. b. Summarize data presented in scaled data visualizations (e.g., picture graph, bar graph for categorial data; line plot for numerical data) by describing the story the data is telling. c. Identify patterns in the data and evaluate whether these patterns might apply to different contexts or situations.
