Topics

• Recognize Statistical Questions- students decide if the posed question is statistical or not statistical and then explain why
• Students brainstorm and type their own statistical question and explain why it is statistical as well as a questions that is not statistical
• Students will evaluate Tally Chart, Frequency Table, Dot Plot, Histogram, Box Plot, Circle Graph and determine which one is which
• Students will learn about the shape of distribution. There are guided practice pages for each of the following, followed by 4 independent practice pages in which the students determine if the given graph displays the given shape of distribution (cluster, gap, peak, symmetry, skewed lift, skewed right, outlier)
• Students will calculate the measure of center: mean, median, mode, and mean absolute deviation- M.A.D.
• Students will find the measures of variation: range, lower quartile, upper quartile, interquartile range of given data
• Students will determine the center and spread of given data
• Students will display and represent data by creating dot plots or histograms
• Students will analyze data to answer questions
