  • Measures of central tendency; mean, median,and mode is our first focus.
  • How do I use this information?
    • Data is used to gather information so people can make informed decisions.
    • Your task is to create a survey over what your friends and family members are doing during social distancing.
    • If you have a home printer, you can print out this form to complete. If you don’t have the ability to print the paper, you can use KAMI to draw directly on the paper. You can write the information on your own paper.
    • Share your results when you check in with your teachers this week.
  • Our next skill is learning about box plots.
    • Begin with this video, remembering to take some notes as you watch, followed by completing these 4 practice problems.
    • Try your hand at making your own box plots with this interactive from Discovery Education.
      • If you need help with the interactive, there is a question mark button in the upper right hand corner for hints and tricks.
      • Don’t just press the buttons, try and make the connections between the data and the display.
    • Box Plots are also referred to as box-and-whisker graphs. When you meet with your teacher, tell them why you think they are called box-and-whisker graphs.
  • After you are comfortable creating box-plots, step away from technology and go old school!
    • Study the information provided here to create box plots and compare data about three basketball players; Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony and Rajon Rondo.
    • Check how you did by looking at the key AFTER you have completed the lesson.
  • Want to learn more about your favorite basketball player? Discovery Education has live stats for the NBA and WNBA players!
