Day 132: Summarize Data Using Measures of Variability

Math 6 and Math 6+ students today worked with two measures of variability: range and mean absolute deviation. Both of these concepts have been practiced prior to today using Khan Academy which helped us front-load much of this topic hopefully leading to strong grades.

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.
• Choose the measures of center and variability, based on the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
