DATA RELATIONSHIPS
Unit Overview
Focus and Context
Outcomes 
Framework
A set of data can be collected, organized, and then displayed in a variety 
of ways, depending on the type of data and the purpose for its collection. 
Once a set of data is displayed, it can be analyzed to look for patterns, 
make comparisons, draw inferences, predict, and inform decisions. 
The focus of this unit is on data recording and problem solving using
first- and second-hand data and double bar graphs. Various sample double 
bar graphs will be provided for students to explore and interpret. Students 
will formulate questions to collect first-hand data and display using a 
double bar graph. They will also create and answer questions regarding 
second-hand data. 
Graphing allows data to be presented concisely and visually. Within all 
curriculum areas, data can be collected and graphed to help students value 
the
graphing process. This connection to real quantities in a student’s 
environment is an important aspect of graph development; comparisons of 
graphs will deepen their understanding and such knowledge will transfer 
and benefit other curriculum areas. Altho
ugh data relationships is the 
focus of this unit, it is important that students are given opportunities 
to practice what they have learned on an ongoing basis throughout the 
year. This may be easily incorporated with special occasions and events 
that naturally occur (e.g., Hallowe’en, sports events, consideration of the 
weather) as well as in other subject areas.
GCO
