Unit Overview

Lesson 1:
I can create and interpret a dot plot and explain when it is a good way to show data.

Lesson 2:
I can compare dot plots and explain what they show about the center and spread of data.

Lesson 3:
I can create and analyze a histogram to describe and compare data sets.

Lesson 4:
I can calculate the mean and explain what it tells us about a data set.

Lesson 5:
I can calculate the mean absolute deviation (MAD) and use it to describe how spread out data is.

Lesson 6:
I can find the median and explain when it’s a better measure of center than the mean.

Lesson 6 Handout

Lesson 7:
I can create and describe a box plot using the five-number summary, range, and IQR.

Lesson 8:
I can explain the difference between a population and a sample, and describe when to use a sample.

Lesson 9:
I can decide if a sample is representative of a population by comparing their data displays.

Lesson 10:
I can describe random sampling and explain why it helps make fair conclusions about a population.

Lesson 11:
I can use sample data to estimate the center of a population and explain how variability affects accuracy.

Lesson 12 (Optional):
I can compare sample means to the population and explain how sample size affects accuracy.

Probability

Lesson 13:
I can list possible outcomes of a simple chance experiment and find the probability of an event.

Lesson 13 Handout

Lesson 14:
I can describe patterns from repeated experiments and explain how they relate to probability.

Lesson 15:
I can represent the sample space of a compound event using lists, tables, or tree diagrams.

Lesson 16:
I can find the probability of a compound event and explain my reasoning using different models.

Lesson 17:
I can simulate a compound event and explain how my simulation models a real situation.
