Learning standards covered
OGM.7.SP.2Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · 6th GradeDisplay numerical and categorical data using dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, bar charts, histograms, pie charts (circle graphs), line graphs, and box-and-whisker plots; interpret graphical components and detect misleading features (scale distortions, omitted axes).
OGM.7.SP.3Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · 6th GradeCalculate and interpret measures of center (mean, median, mode) and measures of variation/spread (range, interquartile range [IQR], mean absolute deviation [MAD]); summarize data distributions in terms of shape (skewness, symmetry), clusters, gaps, and outliers in relation to context.
