7th Grade Inferences Unit

Math Learning Contract

th
Purpose of this Learning Contract: This Learning Contract will address the following 7 grade standards for independent learners.

Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. MCC7.SP.3, MCC7.SP.4

Expectations:

Student Work:
Complete all required learning activities.
Show work (or setup of work) for each problem (where applicable) .
Answer all written responses in complete sentences and support with examples.
Seek assistance from teacher, as needed, when direct instruction is not being provided.

Student Behavior:
Remain on task at all times.
Keep track of all usernames and logins provided for the different online resources:

Learnzillion class
Blendspace class
Learning Activities:
See the chart on this contract for the required learning activities.
Select one of the supplemental activities from the approved list on the chart after you complete the required learning activities.

MCC7.SP.2 Use data
I will complete the following
from a random sample to
draw inferences about a
population with an
unknown characteristic of
interest. Generate multiple
samples (or simulated
samples) of the same size
to gauge the variation in
estimates or predictions
MCC7.SP.3 Informally
assess the degree of
visual overlap of two
numerical data
distributions with similar
variabilities, measuring
the difference between the
centers by expressing it
as a multiple of a measure
of variability.
