 * Grade: 6Unit: 6 Week: 6** **Content: Math Dates: 5/13 – 5/17**


 * Theme Essential Question **** : **

How can you choose appropriate measures of center and variability to descrive a data set?
 * Essential Questions: **

a) Reporting the number of observations. b) Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement. c) Giving quatitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data was gathered. d) Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data was gathered.
 * Standards CC.6.SP.5 **
 * Summarize and describe distributions. Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by: **

a) Describe a data set by stating what quantity was measured and how it was measured. b) Describe a data set by stating what quantity was measured and how it was measured. c) Understand the mean as a fair share and balanced point. Summarize a data set by using mean, median, and mode. Describe overall patterns in data, including clusters, peaks, gaps, and symmetry. Understand mean absolute deviation as a measure of variability from the mean. Summarize a data set by using range, interquartile range, and mean absolute deviation. d) Determine the effects of outliers on measures of center and variability. Choose appropriate measures of center and variability to describe data, and justify the choice.
 * Objectives **
 * Students will summarize numberical data by providing background information about the attribute being measured, methods and unit measurement, the context of data collections activities, the number of observations and summary statistics.


 * Assessment **
 * Product **
 * Students will generate a set of data to find the measure of center and variability in their set.


 * Key Questions **
 * How can you describe how a data set was collected?
 * How can you describe a set of data using mean, median and mode?
 * How can you summarize a data set by using range, interquartile range and mean absolute deviation?
 * How does an outlier affect measures of center?


 * Observable Behaviors **
 * Students will summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context.

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. ||

The slides have 20 slides that teach and test for working with stem-and-leaf plots as you prepare for the state assessments. Peach-colored slides are for teaching and learning. Light blue-colored slides are for SMART Response questions. There are questions with the highest level of Bloom's Taxonomy included. I use this in a special education class and they can easily do this activity, with assistance. In this lesson, students get the definition of mean, and represent the mean of a set of data visually. Students learn the meaning of mean, median, and mode and determine the "average" allowance for their class. This lesson activity is used as a math center or whole group review of finding the median of a set of numbers or objects.
