Choose a display
Target: Match a numerical distribution to a dot plot.
Language target: Name the kind of data before the display.
Likely miss: Students pick a display because it looks familiar.
Ask: Are these categories or numbers?
If you see it: Match the display to the kind of data: categories, or a numerical distribution.
Evidence to listen for: The student names the data type before the display.
Next: If a circle is chosen for every question, ask what comparison is needed.
Observable student moves: names both quantities, uses the represented relationship, and revises after feedback. This companion is not a score.
