Description

Need an ENGAGING real world math problem that incorporates critical thinking, statistics and probability, evidence based reasoning, and four leaf clovers?

Great lesson for an introduction/review to a statistics unit that also covers multiple math practices!

Includes:

-complete teacher instructions

-student mini worksheet

-5 pictures as "evidence" for the problem

-an article that is related to the problem to wrap up the lesson

Thank you!

CCSS6.SP.A.1

Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.

CCSS6.SP.B.5

Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:

CCSS7.SP.A.1

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.

CCSS7.SP.A.2

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.

CCSS6.RP.A.3

Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
