Essential Question: How can we model and analyze data to understand real-life situations? Unit Rationale: Exploring data offers many opportunities to use algebra and see its applications. As a result of this unit, students will be able to: Ø Make and use a scatter plot to evaluate the relationship between two variables Ø Draw and justify conclusions about a data set, based on graphs Vocabulary: · Accuracy · Coordinate Plane · Coordinates · Measure of Center · Measure of Central Tendency · Ordered Pair · Origin · Precision · Quadrant · Quartile · Scatter Plot · Variable · Inter Quartile Range(IQR)
Standards: Standards will be assessed on both the state and classroom levels, however, standards with an asterisk (*) in the code will count for graduation requirements. Focus Standards: *A1.6.A Use and evaluate the accuracy of summary statistics to describe and compare data sets Supporting Standards: *A1.2.B Recognize the multiple use of variables, determine all possible values of variables that satisfy prescribed conditions, and evaluate algebraic expressions that involve variables. *A1.6.B Make valid inferences and draw conclusions based on data. Reasoning, Problem Solving, and Communication Standards: A1.8.E Read and interpret diagrams, graphs, and text containing the symbols, language and conventions of mathematics. |
