Eureka Math™ Tips For Parents: Key Common Core Standards

By the end of the module, students are working with a mixture of scaled picture graphs, bar graphs, and line plots to problem solve using categorical and measurement data. Students extend and deepen understanding of fractions as equal parts of a whole, using area models and the number line.

Eureka Math Tips for Parents

Key Terms and Ideas

Collecting and Displaying


Data

Axis: vertical or horizontal


scale in a graph

In Module 6, we build on Grade 2


concepts about data, graphing,
and line plots. We focus on
generating and analyzing different
types of data. By the end of the
module, students are working
with a mixture of scaled picture
graphs, bar graphs, and line plots
to problem solve using categorical
and measurement data.

Bar graph: graph generated


from categorical data with
bars to represent a quantity
Fraction: numerical quantity
that is not a whole number,
e.g., 1/3
Frequent: most common
measurement on a line plot
A vertical tape diagram, similar to a
bar graph

What Came Before this


Module: Students extended and
deepened understanding of
fractions as equal parts of a
whole, using area models and the
number line.

What Comes After this


Module: In Module 7, students

A line plot

How You Can


Help at Home:

Ask your student to help


interpret the data when
you see simple graphs
and charts in books,
newspapers, or product
packaging.

Grade 3
Module 6

get intensive practice with word


problems, as well as hands-on
investigation experiences with
geometry and perimeter.

Line plot: display of


measurement data on a
horizontal line
Measurement data: e.g.,
length measurements of a
collection of pencils
Picture graph: graph
generated from categorical
data with graphics to
represent a quantity
Scaled graphs: bar or picture
graph in which the scale uses
units with a value greater
than 1
Survey : collecting data by
asking a question and
recording responses

Key Common Core Standards:


Represent and Interpret Data.

Continue to practice and


encourage measurement
around the house,
especially with inches,
and parts of an inch.

Prepared by Erin Schweng, Math Coach

o Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar


graph to represent a data set with several
categories.
o Generate measurement data by measuring
lengths using rulers marked with halves and
fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a
line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked
off in appropriate units.

Grade 3
Module 6

Eureka Math, A Story of Units

Spotlight on Math
Skills:
Displaying Data

Students will learn when a line plot or a bar graph is a more


appropriate way to display data.

Students will
work with data in
various ways in A
Story of Units.

A Story of Units exposes students to several key skills that


will be used throughout the elementary years.
Learning how to gather, record, and display data is an important group of
mathematical skills that students will use their whole lives. Our work with data in A
Story of Units began in kindergarten with simple bar graphs of categorical data.
Now, we gather more complex data, both categorical and measurement, and display
it in more sophisticated ways.
This module will also include a discussion of when either bar graphs or line plots
are a good choice to display a particular set of data. Students will learn that bar
graphs are used to compare things between different groups, and line plots are used
to show frequency of data (how many times a certain thing happens) along a number
line.
Sample Problem from Module 6:
(Example taken from Module 6, Lesson 6)

Using the line plot to the right, students


answer various questions:
1. How many caterpillars did the class
measure? How do you know?
2. Cara says that there are more
3
caterpillars 3 centimeters long
4

than caterpillars that are 3


1

2
4

and 4

centimeters long combined. Is


she correct?
