Day 131: Topic Eight Midpoint

Math 6 and Math 6+ students reviewed a data set and how to find measures of central tendency and measure of spread. Students used that data to construct a box plot. Once that was completed, the Topic Eight Midpoint was administered.

Skills that were introduced, modeled, practiced, and informally/formally assessed today in class include:
Math 6 and Math 6+:
  • Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots (line plots), histograms, and box plots.
  • Recognize and formulate a statistical question as one that anticipates variability and can be answered with quantitative data.
  • Find the quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) for a numerical data set and recognize that this value summarizes the data set with a single number. 
  • Interpret mean as an equal or fair share. 
  • Find measures of variability (range and interquartile range) as well as informally describe the shape and the presence of clusters, gaps, peaks, and outliers in a distribution.
