[Discovery] Build a bar chart of the SORTED data 8, 12, 15, 18, 22. Each bar's height is the value at that position.

Active StepWelcome to "Cookie Stats Lab", a 6th Grade Statistics mission at the Explorer (core) level, staged in our bakery scenario. The mission opens with a hands-on prompt: "Build a bar chart of the SORTED data 8, 12, 15, 18, 22. Each bar's height is the value at that position." You'll work with the numbers 8, 12, 15 and arrive at a final answer of 14 across 3 guided steps.
Behind the bakery story, this lesson is really about statistics aligned to CCSS 6.SP.B.5. Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context (median, mean, range, mean absolute deviation). The key strategy this mission asks you to internalise: Answer: 15.
A general pattern to watch for in 6th Grade statistics — illustrated with example numbers below, which may differ from this lesson's: Confusing mean with median. Mean is computed (sum ÷ count). Median is found by position. Different methods. If you get stuck on "Cookie Stats Lab", the adaptive Socratic hints below escalate from a gentle nudge to a worked-out strategy — the same way a one-on-one tutor would coach you through it.

This explorer · core practice mission uses a bar chart to move from the story to a precise statistics idea. Work through the prompts in order: notice the structure first, name the quantities, then check whether the final answer fits the original situation.
In 6th Grade Statistics, students need to connect the story, the model, and the symbolic answer. The core move here is: Answer: 15. A useful check is to ask whether the answer avoids this pitfall: Reporting only the mean for skewed data. Outliers pull the mean. The median may be more representative when extremes are present.
