Covered **Ratios and Proportional Relationships**, **Number System**, and **Expressions and Equations** during first semester.

JANUARY
 * Statistics and Probability**
 * Develop understanding of statistical variability. **
 * ** 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.// **
 * ** 6.SP.2. Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape. **
 * ** 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. **
 * Summarize and describe distributions. **
 * ** 6.SP.4. Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots. **
 * ** 6.SP.5.Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by: **
 * ** Reporting the number of observations. **
 * ** Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement. **
 * ** 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. **
 * ** 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. **
