Class Topics: 08.26.13

In Common Core Math Six today, students received their scored Chapter One Pretests back.  Mr. Giomini showed them a question-by-question breakdown of how the class did as a whole on the assessment.
Students then began Lesson 1.1 - Populations and Samples.  In this lesson we introduced the terms: population, sample, and random sample.  Different types of candy were used to help explain the terms.
Today's Learning Targets: The student will be able to...

• identify populations and samples.
• determine whether a sample is random or not.
• explain what makes a good statistical question.
• develop a question that can be used to collect statistical information.

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to...

• complete Lesson 1.1 Practice B and Problem Solving.  (Handout supplied by Mr. Giomini.)
• begin studying for the Chapter One Midpoint Quiz which will cover Lessons 1.1 through Lesson 1.6.
