Class Topics: 09.03.14

In Common Core Math Six today, students reviewed box-and-whisker plots with Mr. Giomini by going over Tuesday's Evening Practice.  Mr. Giomini then split the class into eight groups and had them work in stations in the cafeteria or media center to help with test preparation for Monday's Chapter One Posttest.

Today's Learning Goals: The student should be able to...

• recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers.
• understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
• display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.

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

• complete a Google Form (CLICK HERE) that reviews Populations and Samples.
• complete the Khan Skill - Analyzing Data with Box Plots.

Constructing a box and whisker plot: Here's a word problem that's perfectly suited for a box and whiskers plot to help analyze data. Let's construct one together, shall we?
