Unit review questions
1. Two cards are saved for the same single puzzle choice. Classify the record.
Need a hint?
  • Match one card to one stated choice and check that no choice is counted twice.
  • More cards do not always mean more people when a choice has been duplicated.
2. Letter key: S=Sunny, C=Cloudy, R=Rainy, N=Snowy. Read the card N.
Need a hint?
  • Use only the supplied symbol key to translate a card into its recorded category.
  • Do not guess a symbol meaning from its color when the key gives a different meaning.
3. Key: one star card is one recorded choice. A row has 7 star cards. How many choices are recorded?
Need a hint?
  • Count the cards one at a time and use the stated one-card-one-choice key.
  • Count cards rather than the number of different pictures.
4. Pretend record: reading 4, drawing 6. Compare the recorded counts.
Need a hint?
  • Name what is shown in the supplied record and keep the claim about that record.
  • Do not turn a few recorded choices into a claim about all children.

Use the skills in a new task

Make a pretend record with four blocks choices and two drawing choices. Supply a symbol key, count both groups and write one supported claim.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Use the pretend details in the task and name the rule you followed.
  • Show the steps or point to the detail that helped you choose.
  • Say one mistake to avoid or one thing this example cannot tell us.
  • Check your answer against the task. Change a part if you can show why it needs fixing.
Compare with a model response

Key: a square means one blocks choice; a circle means one drawing choice. Pretend record: square, square, square, square, circle, circle, with one card per choice. Count four squares and two circles: four blocks choices, two drawing choices, six choices in total. Blocks appears more often by two choices in this supplied record. The key, not the symbol appearance, determines meaning; this small record does not establish every child’s preference.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
