Cluster 7: Data and Two-Step Problem Solving

In this cluster, students work with the process of data collection as they pose relevant questions, collect data to answer their questions, organize data, and interpret the results. Then, students solve one and two step problems related to the collected data. Students work with both measurement data and categorical data. Measurement data should be based on standard units of linear measure from the previous cluster (e.g., pencil lengths, shoe lengths). With categorical data, objects are sorted into non-numeric categories (e.g., flavors of ice cream, ways students get home from school).  (See About this Cluster and the Unpacking Document below for more details on this cluster.)
