Purpose/ After learning to identify statistical questions, looking at the data itself and how to
Rationale read it is important.
Students should be able to talk about the data, not just realize that it is statistic in
nature.

Objectives Students will start to be able to describe a set of data collected from a statistical
question using mean as the set of datas representation of center.

Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a
distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.

 ML Lesson Plan

Engagem yesterday to statistical questions and data from yesterday, we

ent know we can create/recognize a question that is statistical, and
recognize data that is also statistical because it has a variance.
But if you need to represent that data in 1 number, how would
you do that?

Instruction After the introduction the class will begin a guided notes/practice on Mean
al covering the method of finding the mean from a data set.
Strategie The first point to make would be the definition of mean which is found by
s calculating the sum of all data given, divided by the number of data used in the set.
(Procedur Model this practice using the question, how many windows are in a room?
es) Practice problems on worksheet will be completed by the class as the instructor
walks around the room clarifying, assisting, and answering questions
The instructor should also not students who may need more instruction later, as
well as students who may need differentiation to a higher difficulty level
Preview tomorrows lesson - median explained in closure.

Closure Tomorrow will cover the second measure of center median. One
closing question will be to ask students what is an example of a
question about a measure of center that median is the best
representation of the data?
Students will talk in groups after being given the question, and
share out ideas before leaving class.
