This lesson, the seventh of a nine-part Illuminations unit titled “Amazing Attributes: Sorting and Organizing Objects,” allows students to describe their graphs using appropriate vocabulary and to develop skills in posing and responding to questions about their graphs. Students also demonstrate an understanding of how to organize and interpret data.
