1 — lower track

3

2 — stream bend

5

3 — lookout

8

4 — rocky saddle

6

5 — summit

Read the pattern

Use the checkpoint data to solve each question. A trend is a pattern or change you can describe from data.

1.Which checkpoint had the most birds spotted?
  • Checkpoint 2
  • Checkpoint 3
  • Checkpoint 4
  • Checkpoint 5
2.How many birds were spotted altogether at checkpoints 1 and 2?
3.From checkpoint 1 to checkpoint 3, did the number of birds spotted generally increase or decrease?
  • Increase
  • Decrease
  • Stay the same
4.At which checkpoint did the count go down compared with the checkpoint just before it? Write both counts.
5.True or false: The count increased at every checkpoint.
TrueFalse
6.Complete the statement: The difference between the highest count and the lowest count is birds.
7.Which statement best describes the overall trend from the first checkpoint to the summit?
  • The number generally increased, although it dipped at checkpoint 4.
  • The number generally decreased at every checkpoint.
  • The number stayed exactly the same.
8.What is one sensible reason the bird count might change between checkpoints? Give a reason that does not claim the data proves something it cannot prove.
9.Mere says, “We saw more birds at the summit than at the lower track, so every part of the trail had more birds than the part before it.” Is her conclusion supported by the data? Explain using a checkpoint as evidence.
