Hess’ Home

Today we turned in our Name Box n Whiskers. We also took our quiz on Box n Whiskers. The students were allowed to use their notes and I kept all visual aides up in the classroom.

HW: I handed out a review worksheet that covers everything they will need to know for the unit test on Friday. They are only to work on half of the front page. They will continue working on this and we will review the answers each day. Meanwhile, we will be learning about Scatter Plots this week. The back side of the worksheet has problems relating to them. We will do them for homework later this week.

We used our names to give us data. Each letter stands for a different number. They are then required to find the Mean, Median, Mode, Range, Lowe Quartile, Upper Quartile, Lower Extreme, Upper Extreme, Initerquartile Range, Outliers.

Then create a box and whisker plot on a white sheet of paper. Decorate it and paste on the construction paper. The white and colored papers have been supplied to the student.

They are to finish this for homework. A quiz will be on Monday over Box and Whiskers. Unit test next Friday.

Today we continued working on making box and whiskers. We also reviewed where the quartiles are and that each quartile is 25%.

Remember in the homework -when they ask for the “fraction” you are giving the percent. The data is listed in a table form, but those are the numbers you use for the data.

We took a quiz today. We did not have time to start the new unit. The homework in their agenda will not be done until tomorrow.

Reviewing Mean, Median, Mode, Range

Class group on “Time for Lunch” . Pairs work on pg 14 Study Guide. 

HW: QUIZ TOMORROW ON Mean, Median, Mode, Range and Outlier

Pg 14 Practice side, any 4 problems in #1-11, and all of #12-15

We have been learning about measures of data that find the center – Measures of Central Tendency.

Mean – the average – add all the numbers and divide by the total number of numbers

Median – the middle number after all the numbers are lined up.

Mode – the number that is there the most

Range – the difference (subtraction) of the largest number and the smallest number

Outlier – a number that is an extreme – it does not lie within the rest of the data – it lies “out”side the data
