Standards address:
HS.ID.A.1 – Represent data with plots on a real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).
Task examples:
- Read and contextualize graphs and tables
- Analyze how data is represented (e.g. “Is this the best graph for this data?”)
- Create graphs and tables for data sets and give reasoning.
HS.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.
Task examples:
- Contextualize the skew of data
- Calculate interquartile ranges, standard deviation, and distribution
- Create a graph – or data set – that represents a given description
HS.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).
Task examples:
- Identify outliers
- Create graphs and/or tables for two data sets and compare them
Assessments:
- Student discourse
- Mathematical reasoning
- Use of visuals
- Contextualizing to personal examples/experiences
- Hinge questions
