ARM 10.54.4022. BENCHMARK FOR MATHEMATICS CONTENT STANDARD 2 FOR END OF GRADE 8

(1) The benchmark for mathematics content standard 2 for a student at the end of grade 8 is the ability to: (a) collect data from a variety of contexts (e.g., science, history, and culture, including Montana American Indians); and organize and represent data in box plots, scatter plots, histograms, and circle graphs using technology when appropriate; (b) interpret, analyze, and evaluate data using mean, median, range, and quartiles to identify trends and make decisions and predictions about data within scientific and cultural contexts, including those of Montana American Indians; and (c) create sample spaces and simulations from events found in different cultures, including Montana American Indians, determine experimental and theoretical probabilities, and use probability to make predictions.
