Standard Goal: Data Analysis and Probability

compare different representations of the same data and evaluate how well each representation shows important aspects of the data

Misleading Graphs	Lesson: This lesson will challenge students to think creatively by having them design and build water balloon catchers from random scrap materials, while requiring them to take into consideration a multitude of variables. Students will then construct at least two bar graphs to be used in a commercial advocating the purchase of their group's catcher.
Scatter Plot	Activity: Graph ordered pairs and customize the graph title and axis labels. Points are connected from left to right, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.
Simple Plot	Activity: Plot ordered pairs of numbers, either as a scatter plot or with the dots connected. Points are connected from right to left, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.

describe the shape and important features of a set of data and compare related data sets, with an emphasis on how the data are distributed

Graphs and Functions	Lesson: Demonstrates the connections between formulas and graphs.
Misleading Graphs	Lesson: This lesson will challenge students to think creatively by having them design and build water balloon catchers from random scrap materials, while requiring them to take into consideration a multitude of variables. Students will then construct at least two bar graphs to be used in a commercial advocating the purchase of their group's catcher.
Plop It!	Activity: Build line plots of data using your mouse. View how the mean, median, and mode change as entries are added to the plot. Parameters: Range for observations.
Scatter Plot	Activity: Graph ordered pairs and customize the graph title and axis labels. Points are connected from left to right, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.
Simple Plot	Activity: Plot ordered pairs of numbers, either as a scatter plot or with the dots connected. Points are connected from right to left, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.

use measures of center, focusing on the median, and understand what each does and does not indicate about the data set

Measures	Activity: Enter data and view the mean, median, variance, and standard deviation of the data set. Parameters: Number of observations, range for observations, which statistics to view, identifiers for the data.
