Math 6 (Class 53)
Lesson Title
Investigation 1: Organizing Your Data
Overview
In today’s class we explore creating a list of class names to fit a given the range and mode of the lengths of the names.
Textbook Sections
Problem 1.3 (Txt. p.9) Identifying the Mode and Range
Vocabulary
typical
variable
frequency
line plot
bar graph
axis
scale
bell shaped
clustered/ grouped
range
mode
Key Attitudes
Willingness to work as a group to help meet individual and group goals.
Enduring Understandings
Change is fundamental to understanding functions.
Mathematical relationships can be represented in 4 main ways: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, Verbal (written and oral).
Essential Question
What is average?
What makes a data representation useful?
Key Knowledge
One way to describe what is typical, or average, about a set of data is to give the value that occurs most frequently.
The value that occurs most frequently is called the “mode”.
It is often helpful to talk about how data is spread out.
The “range” of a set of data is one way to describe how a set of data is spread out.
Key Skills
I can create a set of data to fit a specified range and have a given mode.
I can make a line plot to display data.
I can describe the shape of data using a line plot.
