Day 121: Histograms / Convert Customary Units / Population and Samples

Today in Math 6, students in 1 and 3° discussed last night's evening practice.  Mr. Giomini provided the students with data that they had to use to construct a histogram which was a skill on last week's quiz that we struggled with a little due to labeling and interval discrepancies.  

In 2°, Math 6 students began Lesson 10.6: Convert Customary Units.  During this lesson, students learned two approaches to solving problems converting between two or more measurements.

During 7 °, students in Math 6+ checked their evening practice with a key provided by Mr. Giomini. Students continued their work with populations and different types of samples.

Today's Learning Targets: The student will be able to...

• use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units. (2°)
• manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying and dividing quantities. (2°)
• display numerical data sets in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots. (1 & 3°)
• understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a populations by examining a sample of the population. (7°)
• understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences. (7°)

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

• 1 & 3° -
• Reviewing constructing and interpreting graphical representations for Friday's posttest.
• Have 75% of 6th Grade Khan Skills mastered by March 23rd.
• 2° -
• Complete page 509.
• Have 75% of 6th Grade Khan Skills mastered by March 23rd.
• 7° - 
• Complete handout from Mr. Giomini.
• Have 50% of 7th Grade Khan Skills mastered by March 23rd.
• All Classes: Complete at least 10 minutes of work on Khan Academy to help review old content, practice new material, or front-load future concepts.
