Project Overview
Who? Grade 6 Students at High Tech Middle Chula Vista
When? Fall 2022
When? Fall 2022
How do we make sense of data? How do we interpret data? In this project, students will conduct their own research projects. They will ask a statistical question (one that anticipates variability in its responses) that yields quantitative or numerical data. Then, they will create an infographic that explains and contextualizes their data.
- Task 1: Create a statistical question and identify your population
- Task 2: Ask at least 50 people from your specified population
- Task 3: Calculate the measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode, and range)
- Task 4: Create a poster on Canva with a takeaway based on your measures of central tendency
ACADEMIC CONTENT
Mathematics:
- 6.SP.A.1: Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers.
- 6.SP.A.2: Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
- 6.SP.A.3: Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
- 6.SP.B.4: Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
