Interpret a display
Target: Answer a question by counting observations, not axis labels.
Language target: Cite the display in the answer.
Likely miss: Students read a single bar as the whole story.
Ask: Where in the display is that number?
If you see it: Ask what comparison the display supports, and what it does not.
Evidence to listen for: The student cites a value from the display in a sentence.
Next: If the claim goes beyond the data, ask where that number is.
Observable student moves: names both quantities, uses the represented relationship, and revises after feedback. This companion is not a score.
