Describe a data set
Target: Find the range of a data set.
Language target: Describe spread with a number and a unit.
Likely miss: Students describe one favorite value instead of the set.
Ask: What changes if the greatest value changes?
If you see it: Use a summary that sees every relevant value.
Evidence to listen for: The description matches a computation from the whole set.
Next: Ask what would change if one value changed.
Observable student moves: names both quantities, uses the represented relationship, and revises after feedback. This companion is not a score.
