Do you need to teach your 6th grade students how to distinguish between statistical and non-statistical questions? Do you want to practice writing statistical questions? Do your 7th grade students need a re-fresher from their 6th grade math work with statistical questions?

This lesson is a well-prepared, standards aligned math lesson on identifying and creating statistical questions as well as classifying statistical questions as numerical or categorical. Students will review questions and identify the given questions as statistical or non-statistical. Students will review provided statistical questions and classify them as numerical or categorical. Finally, students will create their own statistical questions.

CCSS: 

• 6.SP.A.1: Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, "How old am I?" is not a statistical question, but "How old are the students in my school?" is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students' ages.

NYS - NGLS: 

• NY - 6.SP.1.A: Recognize that a statistical question is one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers.
