Algebra 1, Chapter 12
Lesson 1 -
Learning Target - I can find measures of center for data.
Chapter 12, Lesson 3
1.1 Videos - Mean
1.1 Video - Median, Mode, Range
1.1 Activity - Pg 742-743, #7-21 odd. Complete individually. Check your work when finished. (If textbook won't load, use workbook - pg 351, #1,3,5, 7,9,11,13, 14)
1.1 Mastery Check - Google Classroom
1.1 Aspire to Do - Lesson 12-1 - Matrices. Textbook reading in Google Classroom. Practice problems in Workbook problems page 343 and 345.
Lesson 2
Learning Target - I can create and interpret a histogram.
Chapter 12, Lesson 2
1.2 Video - Histograms
1.2 B Video - Histogram shapes, Cumulative frequency table
1.2 Activity - With a partner, work on completing #7, 10, 14-17, and 27-29 found on pages 735-736 of your textbook. Work at the whiteboards on the walls. Check your work when finished.
1.2. Mastery Check - Submit on paper. Use a ruler.
1.2 Level 10 (Aspire to Do) - Standard Deviation pg 745. Standard Deviation is used in quantitative studies often to help decide if a finding is statistically significant. That means whether or not we think the results have changed enough to be important. Read how to find standard deviation and then calculate it for problems 1 and 2. Compare which has the greater standard deviation. Complete your work on paper and turn it in to the turn-in basket.
Lesson 3 Learning Target - I can create and interpret box and whisker plots.
Chapter 12, Lesson 4
1.3 Video - Box and Whisker Plots Intro - Take Notes
1.3 Video - Drawing Box and Whisker Plots - Take Notes
1.3 Activity - Quartile practice - Independent activity - workbook pg 355 #1-3.
1.3 Partner Activity - #12-15 from page 750 - Check your work when finished and
submit it to the turn-in basket
1.3 Level 10 Work (Aspire to Do) - Use what you have learned to complete #22 and 23

1.3 Mastery Check - Complete Mastery Check 1.3 on paper and submit it. Show all
work.
Lesson 4 - Aspire to Do
Chapter 12, Lesson 6
Lesson Target - I can use factorial to solve permutation problems
1.4 Activity - Permutations - Assigned as 1.4 Aspire to do in Google Classroom
1.4 Partner Activity - Read pages 763 and 764. Use what you learned to solve problems 11, 15, 17, and 25 on page 766 of your digital textbook (linked in Google Classroom). Check your work, then turn it in to the turn-in basket.
1.4 Aspire to Do #2 - Probability and Permutations - Google Classroom
Lesson 5 Summative
Learning Target - I can use measures of center and graphs to justify my position and support an argument.
Consider wooden and steel roller coasters by watching the video here.
Goal - You want to convince your friends that one type of roller coaster (either wooden or steel) is better than the other. Using the data provided here, decide what elements of the coaster you will use to support your point (speed, inversions, length, etc.). Create at least two box-and-whisker plots to compare the coasters.
