The instructional focus of this unit is the interpretation of data using statistical measures and data displays. Statistical measures include mean, median, mode, quartiles, range, and interquartile range. Data displays include box and whisker plots, back-to-back stem and leaf plots, and scatter plots. A particular emphasis is on comparison of sets of data and drawing conclusions based on statistical measures and data displays.
Data can be organized in such a way as to influence decisions or the development of new ideas. Understanding data displays and statistical measures is becoming increasingly more important in our technological world. Students will encounter graphs and statistics throughout their lives. Student’s exposure to determining the validity of claims based on data can help them deal with complex issues in today’s world.
Unit 1 is typically a three-week unit taught in September.
