Describing+the+Shape+of+the+Data

Welcome to **Describing the Shape of the Data**! In this math unit, we will focus on collecting, representing, describing, and interpreting data. The Enduring Understandings below are what all fourth graders will understand by the end of this unit. The Essential Questions are the important questions that we will consider and find answers to throughout this unit. Also below are listed explanations of math problems and strategies and any other important or interesting information about our learning in math.
