The class studies sample pantry conclusions and practices deciding whether claims are supported by evidence, estimates, and the chosen model. Students then return to their own data to write a short conclusion frame that includes the claim, the math evidence, one limitation about the data or method, and one reasonableness check using estimation or inverse thinking. This just-in-time mini-lesson prepares students to defend conclusions before building the display.
