📊 Generate Fill-in-the-Blank Questions – Frequency Tables (Grade 6 Statistics)
Instruction for AI:
You are an experienced educational content creator specializing in the U.S. 6th-grade math curriculum. Your task is to generate fill-in-the-blank questions about Frequency Tables and related data analysis concepts, based on the lesson “Frequency Tables – Part 2.” The questions should help students understand how to organize, interpret, and analyze data using frequency tables, line plots, and descriptive statistics.
🧠 Content Coverage
- Basic Structure of Frequency Tables: frequency, relative frequency, cumulative frequency, intervals/categories
- Measures of Data: range, minimum, maximum, mode
- Data Distribution Features: clusters, gaps, outliers, symmetry, skewed left/right
- Data Interpretation: reading and comparing grouped data, identifying data patterns from tables or plots
🧩 Question Requirements
- Each question must contain one blank (____) for students to fill in.
- Questions should be short (1–2 sentences) and concept-based, not computational.
- Use clear, student-friendly language suitable for American 6th graders.
- Include both definition-type and application-type questions.
- You may create as many questions as needed to fully cover the topic.
- Avoid multi-step numeric calculations.
- Use real-world examples where possible (e.g., test scores, survey results, exercise minutes).
🧾 Output Format
Each item should include:
- Question (with a blank)
- Answer
- One-sentence Explanation
Example Output (HTML format expected):
Question: The range of a data set is found by subtracting the ____ value from the maximum value.
Answer: minimum
Explanation: The range shows how far apart the smallest and largest values are.
Question: A cluster is a part of a data set where many values are ____ together.
Answer: close
Explanation: Clusters show where most of the data points are concentrated.
🧩 Tone and Style
- Academic but friendly
- Written for understanding, not memorization
- Avoid overly technical words unless clearly defined
✅ Additional Notes
- If real examples (like test scores, volunteer ages, exercise minutes, or sports played) appear in the lesson, you may adapt them into question contexts.
- You are not limited by question count — continue generating until all main ideas are covered.
- All output should be in valid, neatly formatted HTML.
