This year I have entered my 11th year in the teaching profession working many subject areas and all grade of the middle school experience. All the activities, notes, and ideas from my store have been run by one of my actual classes prior to being posted and I thank them for being my guinea pigs and helping me work out the kinks!
Students are required to read dot-plots, histograms, and box and whisker plots to come to conclusions about data based on the given information. They must assess if they can truly know certain facts given the limitations of each form of data display.
Students will be walked though how to use the Ti-83 Graphing Calculator to find the line of best fit between two sets of data. They will then use that equation to make predictions within the data set and use their predictions to calculate residual.
The goal of this short exercise is for students to start to connect that a larger standard deviation means that data is more spread out, even if it has the same mean and median as another set of data.

Experience
This year I have entered my 11th year in the teaching profession working many subject areas and all grade of the middle school experience. All the activities, notes, and ideas from my store have been run by one of my actual classes prior to being posted and I thank them for being my guinea pigs and helping me work out the kinks!
Teaching style
I love creating a blend of personal humor, active engagement, and challenge to help students be comfortable, gain confidence, and ultimately grow toward whatever their goals might be.
My own education history
I obtained my bachelors degree in History with a minor in professional education from West Chester University in 2009 and my Masters in Education Administration from Salisbury University in 2015.
