Do more LEGO pieces always mean a higher price?
Data Story
In this Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) Data Story, students investigate whether LEGO® sets with more pieces always cost more money. Students first examine the number of pieces in several LEGO sets and make a prediction about price. They then compare the same sets by price and discover that the relationship is not always as simple as they expected. Finally, students evaluate whether the evidence supports the idea that the number of pieces alone determines price. Students will: Read and interpret bar graphs. Compare two representations of the same dataset. Identify patterns and exceptions. Make predictions based on evidence. Evaluate whether evidence supports a claim. Explain conclusions using data from multiple graphs. Big Idea: A single measurement does not always explain a real-world outcome. Scientists and mathematicians use multiple pieces of evidence to better understand relationships in data.
