Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are being introduced to measures
of central tendency and will develop
methods to find the mean, median, and
range of a set of data.
8.1.1
Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are comparing two data sets using
mean, median, and range.
We are learning to choose between
median and mean to describe the
“typical” middle value in a distribution
of data.
8.1.2
Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are learning to develop the
formula for the average distance from
the mean in a set of data – the mean
absolute deviation.
8.1.3
Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are constructing and interpreting
box plots and comparing sets of data.
8.1.4
Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are constructing three different
representations of a single set of data.
Then we will determine what kinds of
information each representation
communicates and decide which
representation is most useful for
answering a specific question.
8.1.5
Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are learning to identify statistical
questions to anticipate variability in
answers.
8.2.1
Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are learning to use variables to
write and solve equations for the form
ax = b.
8.3.1
Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are learning to identify the
relationship between distance, rate,
and time and will use d = rt to solve
word problems.
8.3.2
Chapter 8
Statistics and Multiplication Equations
We are learning to develop an
understanding of the importance of
units when comparing rates and when
using rates in computations.
