Data Analysis, Probability, and Discrete Mathematics: Lesson 4

What better way to learn about statistics than to take a survey? Engaging students with power of choice, this pre-algebra project offers a meaningful opportunity for young mathematicians to demonstrate their understanding of basic data...

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

Young mathematicians construct and analyze patterns of association in bivariate data using scatter plots and linear models. The sixth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series then prompts class members to construct and interpret...

There is so much more to data than just numbers, and this resource has learners use three methods of comparing data in a multi-faceted lesson. The 21-page packet includes a warm-up, examples, an activity, and assessment for a complete...

Using a carousel activity, class members gain an understanding of the idea of inferences by using pictures then connecting them to mathematics. Groups discuss their individual problems prior to sharing them with the entire class. The...

Analyze data using technology. Middle schoolers design data investigations, describe data, and draw their own conclusions. Then they select the best type of graph, graph and interpret the data, and look for patterns in trends. They also...

Clever marketers can use visual statistics to mislead their target populations. Explore these visual misrepresentations with a video lesson from a larger statistics playlist. The lesson instructor explains visual representations of both...

The data is a little shady. The resource displays data using shades of colors. Pupils choose data sets about states and view a proportionally shaded map. Using the map display, learners compare different data sets as they relate to the...

Using a map of Canada, pupils analyze given sets of data relative to the provinces and territories. The scholars have access to several data sets, giving them a complete picture. The interactive displays the data in varying shades along...

Examination of a second sample can either confirm or deny an inference about a population. The narrator explains how the first sample can mislead the results and a second sample may be necessary. Use the first video of this series to...
