What educators are saying

Super wonderful resource. The notes are super easy to follow and the homework sheets follow along with the notes, but provide just enough challenge for my students to think outside the box with what they just learned.
These units are super thorough. I LOVE them and plan to use each unit in my classroom to teach my curriculum. Well worth every penny!! Thank you!!

Description

A 9 day CCSS-Aligned Statistics Unit - including populations and samples, drawing inferences from samples, measures of centers and variability, comparing and analyzing dot and box plots.

Students will practice with both skill-based problems, real-world application questions, and error analysis to support higher level thinking skills. You can reach your students and teach the standards without all of the prep and stress of creating materials!

Standards: 7.SP.1, 7.SP.2, 7.SP.3, 7.SP.4; Texas Teacher? Grab the TEKS-Aligned Statistics Unit. Please don’t purchase both as there is overlapping content.

Learning Focus:

  • compare two populations based on random samples and use data to make inferences
  • determine measures of center and variability
  • compare the shapes, centers, and spreads of dot plots and box plots

More details on what is included:

1. Unit Overviews

  • Streamline planning with unit overviews that include essential questions, big ideas, vertical alignment, vocabulary, and common misconceptions.
  • A pacing guide and tips for teaching each topic are included to help you be more efficient in your planning.

2. Student Handouts

  • Student-friendly guided notes are scaffolded to support student learning. 
  • Available as a PDF and the student handouts/homework/study guides have been converted to Google Slides™ for your convenience.

3. Independent Practice

  • Daily homework is aligned directly to the student handouts and is versatile for both in class or at home practice. 

4. Assessments

  • 1-2 quizzes, a unit study guide, and a unit test allow you to easily assess and meet the needs of your students.
  • The Unit Test is available as an editable PPT, so that you can modify and adjust questions as needed.

5. Answer Keys

  • All answer keys are included.

How to use this resource:

  • Use as a whole group, guided notes setting
  • Use in a small group, math workshop setting
  • Chunk each student handout to incorporate whole group instruction, small group practice, and independent practice.
  • Incorporate our Statistics Activity Bundle for hands-on activities as additional and engaging practice opportunities.

Time to Complete:

  • Each student handout is designed for a single class period. However, feel free to review the problems and select specific ones to meet your student needs. There are multiple problems to practice the same concepts, so you can adjust as needed.

Is this resource editable?

  • The unit test is editable with Microsoft PPT. The remainder of the file is a PDF and not editable.

Looking for hands-on classroom activities?

  • Check out the corresponding Statistics Activity Bundle, which includes activities like scavenger hunts, find it and fix its, mazes and more to allow students to engage and practice the concepts. Win-win!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.
Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. For example, decide whether the words in a chapter of a seventh-grade science book are generally longer than the words in a chapter of a fourth-grade science book.
