Statistics and Probability Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data S ID 1. Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots). 2. Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets. 3. Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers). 5. Summarize categorical data for two categories in two-way frequency tables. Interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data (including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies). Recognize possible associations and trends in the data. 7. Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data. 8. Compute (using technology) and interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear fit.
Big Ideas:

Plotting: Students will learn about different ways to plot data on the real number line and use statistical methods to understand the shape of the distribution of data sets. Numerical Analysis: Students will learn about median, mean, inter-quartile range, standard deviation, and understand how to compare these measurements for multiple data sets. Two-way Frequency: Students will learn about two-way frequency tables for summarizing data in two categories. Linear Model: Students will learn about the slope, intercept, and correlation coefficient of a linear model.

Unit Goals and Objectives:

Plot data on the real number line with at least 3 types of plots. Compare the center and spread of two different data sets using statistical tools, by creating two lists and writing a paragraph on the similarities and differences of the two data sets. In groups of three discuss and write an interpretation of what differences in the shape, center, spread, and outliers of data sets mean in terms of the data sets. Create a two-way frequency table for categorical data and discuss the relative frequencies in terms of the data sets by writing a short report in groups of two. Create a presentation on how to interpret the slope, intercept, and correlation coefficient of a linear model in terms of the data set .
Unit Summary:

In this unit we will introduce data sets and the tools we need to describe almost anything about those data sets. We will learn about plotting data, describing data, comparing data, frequencies, and describing linear models of data. We will learn all of this information through many methods. This unit plan will include activities such as a webercise, graphic organizers, group work, internet research, a presentation, as well as traditional teacher lectures. The goal of this unit is to get students working together to understand how to interpret data sets and be able to report this information to others.
Assessment Plan: Entry-Level: Visual Ranking Tool Graph Discussion Formative: Online Quiz on two-way frequency tables Think-Pair-Share on two-way frequency tables Webersice on data analysis Quick Write on data analysis Entry/Exit tickets on interpretation Summative: Glogster Presentation on Interpretation Unit Exam

Lesson 1: Two-way Frequency Tables Student Learning Objective: Create a two-way frequency table for categorical data and discuss the relative frequencies in terms of the data sets by writing a short report in groups of two. Acceptable Evidence: The answers on their guided notes will be a part of the evidence to show that they understand the material. Having a grade of a 70% or higher on the quiz is acceptable evidence. Being able to discuss the interpretations of the twoway tables and fill out a twoway table with a partner would also be acceptable evidence. Instructional Strategies: * Communication * Collection * Collaboration * Presentation Organization * Interaction
Lesson Activities:

The students will fill out guided notes during the lesson. They will also take an online quiz to check their understanding during the lesson. Another activity that the students will participate in is a think-pair-share on the two-way-frequency tables and their interpretations.

Lesson 2: Data Analysis Student Learning Objective:

1. Plot data on the real number line with at least 3 types of plots. 2. Compare the center and spread of two different data sets using statistical tools, by creating two lists and writing a paragraph on the similarities and differences of the two data sets. 3. In groups of three discuss and write an interpretation of what differences in the shape, center, spread, and outliers of data sets mean in terms of the data sets.

Acceptable Evidence: Having the students plot a data set on their own would count as acceptable evidence for the first learning objective. Having the students answer questions about a specific data set and writing down the specific center and spread information would count as acceptable evidence for the second objective. Having students write down and then discuss the interpretations of the data set would be acceptable evidence of the

Instructional Strategies: Communication * Collection Collaboration Presentation Organization * Interaction

Lesson Activities:

The students will research data analysis information on the internet and complete a webercise. They will also complete a visual ranking tool activity to show their prior knowledge. There will also be another formative assessments associated with this lesson. The students will complete a quick-write on the data analysis of a data set that I supply them with.

Lesson 3: Linear Models Student Learning Objective: Create a presentation on how to interpret the slope, intercept, and correlation coefficient of a linear model in terms of the data set . Acceptable Evidence: Having students explain the parts of the linear model by writing an explanation would count as acceptable evidence. Also having the students make an online presentation on how to interpret the data set with a linear model would also count as acceptable evidence. Instructional Strategies: Communication * Collection * Collaboration Presentation * Organization Interaction
Lesson Activities:

The students will create a graphic organizer on how to use a linear model of data and interpret this linear models relationship to the data. The students will also have an entry-level activity where they simply discuss the different aspects of a graph with partners and try to relate it to the data given with the graph. They will fill out entry/exit tickets at the beginning or end of class on the interpretations of a data set and its linear model. Students will also complete a glogster presentation on how to interpret data.
