Linear Patterns in 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...

Scholars solve 24 various types of problems that include defining Hooke's Law, conducting an experiment, and exploring rate of change. They create a scatter plot to show the data for the number and the distance from the table to the top....

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...

With this resource, high schoolers solve 17 types of problems related to the transformation of linear functions. First, they define parent function and determine how other linear functions compare to the parent function. Then, pupils...

Analyze, interpret, and display one and two-variable data in box-and-whisker plots. Engage learners in a whole-class discussion regarding the construction of box and whisker plots. They complete a worksheet embedded in the plan which...

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...

Middle and high schoolers examine how data squares organize and sort information and data sets. They discuss examples of data squares, complete a data square about themselves, organize the data squares for the class together, and compile...

You already know that the mode of a data set is the number that occurs most often in the set. But what if all of the numbers in the set occur the same number of times? I could tell you the answer, but I think you should watch the video.
