Analyzing data — bring the words back

Teacher edition · Grade 7 · Lesson 36 · blocked
The data show — and then you must say what they show.

1. MATCH

Draw a line from each academic word to the everyday word that means about the same.
the data show — the facts say
a correlation — a link
a trend — a direction
the average — the middle amount
a peak — the highest point
fluctuate — go up and down
account for X per cent — make up
an outlier — one odd result
statistically significant — not by chance
margin of error — how far off it may be
MATCH — watch forRecognition only. A child can do this by elimination without meaning anything by the word, which is why it is rung one and not the whole sheet.

2. CHOOSE

Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: a correlation, a peak, a trend, account for X per cent, fluctuate, margin of error, statistically significant, the average, the data show.
Word bank: a correlation, a peak, a trend, account for X per cent, fluctuate, margin of error, statistically significant, the average, the data show.
the data show a steady rise.
There is a correlation between heat and growth.
The trend is upwa trend
the average was twelve.
Ra peakl reached a peak in June.
Numbers fluctuated all year.
Ferns account for X per centnt.
The rise is statistically significant.
Allow a margin of error.
CHOOSE — watch forPRACTICE MODE: blocked. All gaps come from today's set.

3. FRAME

Finish each sentence.
Expect the FULL sentence on the line, not just the missing word. A one-word answer is incomplete — ask for it again.
Because ___, the the data show ___.
Because rain, the the data show rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
We use the data show when ___.
We use the data show when rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
FRAME — watch forThe release to independence. Today's scaffold is “partial”, and it shrinks each time this unit returns until there is no frame at all — the child should be able to feel it coming off.

4. PRODUCE

Write your own sentences using the academic words. Target: 4 paragraphs. A + means more than one sentence in that slot. You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without it.

PRODUCE — watch forThe printed target is the LOTF move: the child can see what a full answer looks like instead of guessing how much is enough. The Today's frame ration is 2 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it.
