Rubric 6th grade
Criteria
Center and Variability
Enduring Skill(s): Develop ability to think statistically.
Beginning Mastery
Students recognize the
purpose of center and that
each can be summarized with
a single number.
Approaching Mastery
Students have some
understanding that a data
distribution may not have a
definite center and that
different ways to measure
center yield different values.
Students have some
understanding that a measure
of variability can also be
useful for summarizing data
because two very different
sets of data can have the
same mean and median yet
be distinguished by their
variability.
