Day 135: Choosing Appropriate Statistical Measures

Math 6 and Math 6+ students continued their work with choosing an appropriate statistical measure for a data set. We had to determine the most appropriate measure of central tendency and measure of variability for a data set based on carefully analyzing the values collected from the population being surveyed.

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.
