In this module, students reconnect with and deepen their understanding of statistics and probability concepts first introduced in Grades 6, 7, and 8. Students develop a set of tools for understanding and interpreting variability in data, and begin to make more informed decisions from data. They work with data distributions of various shapes, centers, and spreads. Students build on their experience with bivariate quantitative data from Grade 8. This module sets the stage for more extensive work with sampling and inference in later grades.

Students learn a simple technique for quantifying the amount of photosynthesis that occurs in a given period of time, using a common water plant (Elodea). They can use this technique to compare the amounts of photosynthesis that occur under conditions of low and high light levels. Before they begin the experiment, however, students must come up with a well-worded hypothesis to be tested. After running the experiment, students pool their data to get a large sample size, determine the measures of central tendency of the class data, and then graph and interpret the results.

An interactive applet and associated web page that provide step-by-step instructions on how to find a median of a triangle using only a compass and straightedge. The method used involves bisecting one side, then drawing a line from this midpoint to the opposite vertex. The animation can be run either continuously like a video, or single stepped to allow classroom discussion and thought between steps. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

The purpose of this lesson is to learn how to find the median and range of a data set.

Included is a YouTube video to support Grade 7 Blended Learning Math - Unit 7.2: Data Analysis - Median and Range.

The purpose of this lesson is to learn about outliers and the affect they have on averages.

Included is a YouTube video to support Grade 7 Blended Learning Math - Unit 7.3: Data Analysis - The Affects of Outliers on Average.

Students use U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) real-time, real-world seismic data from around the planet to identify where earthquakes occur and look for trends in earthquake activity. They explore where and why earthquakes occur, learning about faults and how they influence earthquakes. Looking at the interactive maps and the data, students use Microsoft® Excel® to conduct detailed analysis of the most-recent 25 earthquakes; they calculate mean, median, mode of the data set, as well as identify the minimum and maximum magnitudes. Students compare their predictions with the physical data, and look for trends to and patterns in the data. A worksheet serves as a student guide for the activity.

Students visit second- and fourth-grade classes to measure the heights of older students using large building blocks as a non-standard unit of measure. They also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in age-appropriate bar graphs (paper cut-outs of miniature building blocks glued on paper to form bar graphs) enabling a comparison of the heights of different age groups. The activities that comprise this activity help students develop the concepts and vocabulary to describe, in a non-ambiguous way, how heights change as children age. This introduction to graphing provides an important foundation for creating and interpreting graphs in future years.

This activity introduces Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and poses questions that help students answer questions that require spatial data. Students examine questions about communities and populations from local to state to national scales. Six GIS, math and mapping activities are identified in this resource. This resource is from PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science - a collection of brief examples created by scientists and engineers showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes have real world applications.

Math Antics has amazing videos to explain concepts for Math. The videos are very clear and explicit and students love them. All of the video lessons are FREE.

There are also follow up exercises, videos and worksheets that students can use to solidify learning - but you will be required to pay $20 a year to access these. hat being said, it's super useful even without a paid account!

The videos are organized by strand, and all are free.

They cover numeracy, arithmetic, algorithms, fractions, mixed numbers, percentages, ratios, geometry, statistics, measurement, exponents, integers & algebra, algebra 1-3

Today we’re going to talk about measures of central tendency - those are the numbers that tend to hang out in the middle of our data: the mean, the median, and mode. All of these numbers can be called “averages” and they’re the numbers we tend to see most often - whether it’s in politics when talking about polling or income equality to batting averages in baseball (and cricket) and Amazon reviews. Averages are everywhere so today we’re going to discuss how these measures differ, how their relationship with one another can tell us a lot about the underlying data, and how they are sometimes used to mislead.

Students experience data collection, analysis and inquiry in this LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT -based activity. They measure the position of an oscillating platform using a ultrasonic sensor and perform statistical analysis to determine the mean, mode, median, percent difference and percent error for the collected data.

A web page and interactive applet illustrating the medians of a triangle. The applet shows a triangle where the user can drag the vertices to reshape it. As the triangle is being reshaped, the user can see the three median lines tracking the changes, and observe that that all three always intersect at a point inside the triangle. The page text explains that this point of intersection is also the centroid of the triangle, and explains how to determine the location of the medians. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

Students apply pre-requisite statistics knowledge and concepts learned in an associated lesson to a real-world state-of-the-art research problem that asks them to quantitatively analyze the effectiveness of different cracked steel repair methods. As if they are civil engineers, students statistically analyze and compare 12 sets of experimental data from seven research centers around the world using measurements of central tendency, five-number summaries, box-and-whisker plots and bar graphs. The data consists of the results from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer patched and unpatched cracked steel specimens tested under the same stress conditions. Based on their findings, students determine the most effective cracked steel repair method, create a report, and present their results, conclusions and recommended methods to the class as if they were presenting to the mayor and city council. This activity and its associated lesson are suitable for use during the last six weeks of the AP Statistics course; see the topics and timing note for details.

This 4-minute video lesson explains the mean, median, and mode. [Statistics playlist: Lesson 1 of 85]

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the definition and properties of a trapezoid in coordinate geometry. The applet has a trapezoid with draggable vertices. As the user re-sizes the trapezoid the applet continuously recalculates its altitude and median from the vertex coordinates. The trapezoid can be rotated on the plane to show the more complex cases. The grid, coordinates and calculations can be turned on and off for class problem solving. The applet can be printed in the state it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a full definition of a trapezoid when the coordinates of the points defining it are known, and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the median line of a trapezoid (line linking midpoints of non-parallel sides). The applet shows a trapezoid with all vertices draggable. As you drag any vertex, the figure changes to remain trapezoid, and the median line id continually repositioned to remain correct. It can be seen visually that the median remains parallel to the bases and a formula shows that its length is the average of the bases. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.
