Day 141: Test Preparation / Scatter Plots

Students in Math 6 reviewed yesterday's online assessment piece for Topic Eight. Mr. Giomini then recommended pages in the students' enVision workbooks to further help in their test preparation.

Math 6+ students worked to complete their group scatter plots and shared them with their peers.

Today's learning objective(s):
  • Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, "How old am I?" is not a statistical question, but "How old are the students in my school?" is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students' ages.
  • 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.
  • Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
  • Summarize and describe distributions.

  • Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
  • Summarize numerical data sets.
  • Give quartile measures of center and variability.
