This was a veyr nice resource very well done but way to easy .
Great resource to help statistics students get a better understanding of standard deviation.
This context was a great introduction to standard deviation in my Algebra 2 classes. Students were able to make sense of center and variation while comparing dog heights. We also entered the data into the calculator to get familiar with the keystrokes. The problem was a continued reference as we introduced vocabulary and progressed through the unit.
Use this with my honors as a bonus unit that we made to for the first time this year. Fun scenarios to use as examples.
My students enjoyed this lesson. We had a little difficulty reading the pictographs. I would prefer a bar graph.

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS8.SP.A.1
Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
CCSSHSS-ID.A.2
Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
CCSSHSS-ID.A.4
Use the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution and to estimate population percentages. Recognize that there are data sets for which such a procedure is not appropriate. Use calculators, spreadsheets, and tables to estimate areas under the normal curve.
