Archival data – will not usually change. Examples of sources include historical data and medical records. • Dynamic data – subject to change as data is updated. An example would be survey results that are updated with each new response. • Categorical data – reflect data organized by category rather than number. The frequencies of the data are counted. Examples include favorite color and birth month. • Numerical data – reflect measurable, quantifiable attributes. The measures, rather than the attributes, form the data.
When might an archival data source support the learning of the math TEKS? • When might a dynamic data source support the learning of the math TEKS? • Are trends more apparent in data resulting from an archival or a dynamic data source? Why?
What are the limitations of an archival data source? • What are the limitations of a dynamic data source? • How might these limitations impact the learning of the math TEKS?
What topics in middle school mathematics could be fashioned or refashioned to rely on data?
How do internet-based data sources serve to engage students in the learning process? • How might you use internet-based data sources to assess student learning?
Looking at the two Venn diagrams, how are the data sources related? • Looking at the two Venn diagrams, how are the data sources different?
