Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Grade 8 Probability and Statistics:12. The student uses statistical procedures to describe data.
Lesson (...)
Lesson: Students discover algorithms as they sort shapes into Venn diagrams. Then students compare the efficiency of their algorithms using box plots.
Lesson: Students learn about the difference between univariate and bivariate data and understand how to choose the best graph to display the data.
Activity (...)
Activity: Run a simulation of how a fire spreads through a stand of trees, learning about probability and chaos. Track the results of multiple burns and use the data to draw conclusions.
Activity: Enter data to create a bar graph, then change many settings for the graph's appearance.
Activity: Students can create box plots for either built-in or user-specified data as well as experiment with outliers. User may choose to use or not use the median for calculation of interquartile range.
Activity: Enter your own data categories and the value of each category to create a pie chart. There are
also built in data sets which can be viewed.
Activity: View histograms for built-in or user-specified data. Experiment with how the size of the class intervals influences the appearance of the histogram. Parameters: Data sets, class sizes.
Activity: Enter data to create a double bar graph, then manipulate the graph's maximum and minimum values.
Activity: PlopIt allows users to build dot plots of data using the mouse. View how the mean, median, and mode change as entries are added to the plot. Parameters: Range for observations.
Activity: View stem-and-leaf plots of your own data, and then practice finding means, medians and modes. Stem and Leaf Plotter is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
