North Carolina Standard Course of Study Grade 7 Number and Operations, Measurement, Geometry, Data Analysis and Probability, Algebra:COMPETENCY GOAL 4: The learner will understand and use graphs and data analysis.
Lesson (...)
Lesson: Students discover algorithms as they sort shapes into Venn diagrams. Then students compare the efficiency of their algorithms using box plots.
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.
Lesson: Looks at statistics and data analysis concepts from the practical questions that arise in everyday life.
Lesson: Introduces students to stem-and-leaf plots and calculating the mean, median, and mode from the plots.
Lesson: Students learn about the difference between univariate and bivariate data and understand how to choose the best graph to display the data.
Activity (...)
Activity: Run a simulation of how a fire spreads through a stand of trees, learning about probability and chaos. Track the results of multiple burns and use the data to draw conclusions.
Activity: Enter data to create a bar graph, then change many settings for the graph's appearance.
Activity: Students can create box plots for either built-in or user-specified data as well as experiment with outliers. User may choose to use or not use the median for calculation of interquartile range.
Activity: Enter your own data categories and the value of each category to create a pie chart. There are
also built in data sets which can be viewed.
Activity: View histograms for built-in or user-specified data. Experiment with how the size of the class intervals influences the appearance of the histogram. Parameters: Data sets, class sizes.
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.
Activity: Enter data to create a double bar graph, then manipulate the graph's maximum and minimum values.
Activity: Create a pie chart, adjusting the size of the divisions using your mouse or by entering values.
Parameters: Number of sections, size of sections, whether to use percents or fractions.
Activity: PlopIt allows users to build dot plots of data using the mouse. View how the mean, median, and mode change as entries are added to the plot. Parameters: Range for observations.
Activity: View stem-and-leaf plots of your own data, and then practice finding means, medians and modes. Stem and Leaf Plotter is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
