**SWBAT means Students Will Be Able To
 * Data and Statistics Unit **
 * Unit Goals: **
 * // Describe the distribution of a data set using maximum and minimum values, range, gaps, and clusters //
 * // Determine appropriate measures of center of use with a given data set (mean, median and/or mode) //
 * // Compare two or more data sets using appropriate tools and methods //
 * // Create stem-and-leaf plot //
 * // Create a five-number summary and box-and-whisker plot //
 * // Create a scatter plot, look for a possible correlation and find the line of best fit, if appropriate //
 * // Interpret a variety of graphs and data displays (bar graphs, line plots, stem-and-leaf plots, box-and-whisker plots, scatter plots and lines of best fit) //
 * // Determine appropriate graphs and data displays to use with a given data set //
 * CCSSM ** : 8.SP.1, 8.SP.2, 8.SP.3, 8.SP.4

 * ‍ ****__ Day 1 - January 9 & 10 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT create line plots; describe the distribution of data set using maximum and minimum values, range, gaps, and clusters; and describe a typical value for a data set using mean, median, and mode.
 * **// Lesson //** : "Balancing Act" and "Your Turn"
 * __ Day 2 - January 12 & 13 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT explore the equal-shares representation for mean and use this model to solve real-world problems that involve determining the average; explore a balance-point representation for mean and use this model to solve real-world problems that involve determining the average; and determine the value of missing data given the mean and some values the related data set.
 * **// Lesson //** : "Equal Shares" and "Perfect Balance"
 * __ Day 3 - January 17 & 18 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT determine the median for a given data set and compare it to the mean; explore how changes in data values affect the mean and median in a distribution; examine data sets to determine whether it is more appropriate to use the mean or median to describe a typical value in the data set; and create a stem plot and use it to describe the distribution of data.
 * **// Lesson //** : "Another Measure of Center, the Median" and "Creating Stem-and-Leaf Plot"
 * **// Assignment //** : **pg 6-9**: 3 a and c; 4 a and b; 6 a-f; 10; 12 **pg 16-19**: 2;4;10;13;18 **pg24-27**: 1;3;6;10;16
 * __ Day 4 - January 19 & 20 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT explore circle (pie) graphs and histograms and identify situations in which these graphical representations are appropriate to use when displaying data; compare advantages and limitations of circle graphs, histograms, line plots, bar graphs, and stem plots when describing and displaying data sets; and identify an appropriate graphical display for a variety of data sets.
 * ** Section 1 Assignment Discussion and Check Up **
 * **// Lesson //** : "Spending Spree Your Turn" and "Different Data Displays-Different Stories to Tell"
 * __ Day 5 - January 24 & 25 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT explore circle (pie) graphs and histograms and identify situations in which these graphical representations are appropriate to use when displaying data; compare advantages and limitations of circle graphs, histograms, line plots, bar graphs, and stem plots when describing and displaying data sets; identify an appropriate graphical display for a variety of data sets.
 * ** Section 1 Quiz **
 * **// Lesson //** : “Choosing the Best Display to Represent Data” and “Your Turn”


 * ‍ ****__ Day 6 - January 26 & 27 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT identify 5-number summaries for given data sets and use this information to create box-and-whisker plots to represent and analyze data sets; identify the interquartile range for a given data set and use this value to determine whether the data set contains outliers; identify situations in which a box-and-whisker plot would be most useful in representing data.
 * **// Lesson //** : “The Five-Number Summary”, “Displaying the Data”, and “Comparing Data Sets”
 * __ Day 7 - January 30 & 31 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT identify 5-number summaries for given data sets and use this information to create box-and-whisker plots to represent and analyze data sets; identify the interquartile range for a given data set and use this value to determine whether the data set contains outliers; identify situations in which a box-and-whisker plot would be most useful in representing data.
 * **// Lesson //** : “Outliers”, “Using Your Graphing Calculator”, and “Your Turn”
 * **// Assignment //** : **pg 43-46:**3 and 8 **pg 54-60:** 1;3;5 a or b;11 a-f; 17
 * __ Day 8 - February 1 & 2 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT create scatter plots for given data sets to determine whether there is a positive, negative, or no correlation; identify real-world situations in which the relationship between two variables represents a positive, negative, or no correlation; understand that a correlation between two variables does not imply a cause-and-effect situation, and identify other factors that may contribute to the relationship.
 * ** Section 2 Discussion and Check Up **
 * **// Lesson //** : “Spending Patterns”, “Snacks on Vacation”, “Planning a Trip”, and “Like Oil and Water”
 * __ Day 9 - February 3 & 6 __**
 * **// Objective //** : SWBAT use a line of best fit to represent the general trend or pattern of data points in a given situation ** ; ** determine a line of best fit for a given set of data, where half the points lie above line and half the points lie below line.
 * ** Section 2 Quiz **
 * **// Lesson //** : “How Tall Are Your Classmates”, “The Perfect Guesser”, “The Best Fit”, and “Finding a Line of Best Fit”
 * __ Day 10 - February 7 & 8 __**
