Day 137: Summarize Data Distribution

Math 6 and Math 6+ students began class by creating a frequency table and histogram from the data set pictured below:

25 40 35 10 33 29 30 28 12 40

Once that was complete, Mr. Giomini  introduced and modeled Lesson 8.7: Summarize Data Distribution. Below you'll see some of the different distributions that we discussed.

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.

This kid loves math so much that he brings me a cookie
shaped as a number everyday.
