Are Small, Medium, and Large Fries Always the Same?
Data Story
Students investigate the serving sizes of French fries from several popular fast food restaurants. As they compare more restaurants, they discover that the same size names can represent different amounts of food.

Identify similarities and differences in data. Recognize that category labels can represent different quantities. Use evidence from graphs to support a claim. Revise their thinking as additional data become available. Explain conclusions using observations from real-world data.
