High School Statistics: Summarize, Represent and Interpret data

This learning progression is designed for an 11th-grade statistics class. The CCSS-Math meet in this learning progression are

Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.A.1
Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.A.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.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.A.3    Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).

The purpose of this learning segment is for students to learn to analyze, report and make inferences about data. Students will learn how to find mean, median, mode, range, and box-and-whiskers plot, as well as to write reports describing data sets. Throughout the lessons, I will give examples to help students understand the concepts. Class discussions and group work activities are designed to help students develop understanding of the concepts, create procedural fluency and elicit students reasoning.

Students will be assessed during instruction as well as formative assessment at the end of each lesson.  For the final assessment, students will show their understanding of the concepts by completing a report project.
