Unit: Data Analysis and Probability
Grade Level/Course 6 th Math
Teacher: Acosta/Gordon
This unit is combined because the first unit in Everyday Mathematics (EM) covers all of the learning goals. It hits several objectives, both complex and simple in one week and often in one lesson. The unit should take 4 to 5 weeks which is longer that the EM unit. Provide extra practice using skills tutor, AM, Math-drills and other sources. Some are listed in the unit. The unit folder has resources you can use.
Variability refers to the extent to which the scores in a distribution differ from each other. An equivalent definition (that is easier to work with mathematically) says that variability refers to the extent to which the scores in a distribution differ from their mean. If a distribution is lacking in variability, we may say that it is homogenous (note the opposite would be
heterogenous).

Learning Goals (Question 1)
The student will understand or be able to:
SP1 – Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. (Not covered in EM. In 2012- 1·2 , 1·3 ,
1·7)
SP2 – 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. (EM 1·2,
1·3, 1·4, 1·6, 1·7, 1·8)
SP3 – Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number. (EM 1·2, 1·3, 1·4, 1·5a, 1·6, 1·12)
SP3 – Recognize that a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number. (EM 1·2, 1·3, 1·4, 1·5a, 1·6, 1·12)
SP4 – Display numerical data in plots on a number line.(EM 1·2, 1·5a, 1·7, 1·13, 2·1, 2·3,
2·7, 3·4)
SP5 – Understand what an observation is (e.g. sample size, n size) and how it relates to numerical data sets.
SP5 – Understand how the data was gathered, the importance of the units used in the data sets and justify the appropriateness of the process.( 1·2, 1·11, 1·12)
SP5 – Give quantitative measures of center (median, mean) and variability (range, interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation)( 1·4, 1·5, 1·5a, 1·6, 1·10, 1·12, 2·1)
SP5 – Describe how the shape of the data distribution may determine the choice of measure of center and variability and that measures of center emphasize different attributes for the data set. (e.g., mean income v. median income).( 1·2, 1·4, 1·5a, 2·1,
3·4, 4·10 Project 10

), and bar graphs. (EM 1 · 7)
Report the number of observations (EM 1·2 , 1·3 , 1·7) (just used to determine mean)
Identify and describe the attribute being measured. (done by example and questioning throughout unit)
Find median, mean, range, (EM 1
