Statistics: One Variable Data

Statistics

Unit 1: One Variable Data

A complete unit bundle for a high school statistics course.

Welcome! This is the complete unit plan for the first unit in my regular level Statistics class. (If you are interested in the AP Statistics Unit 1 Plans, check out my listing here.)

Included in this resource:

• 9 complete sets of student guided notes (annotated answer keys included)
• 9 homework problem sets + complete test review (annotated answer keys included)
• 3 assessments – 2 quizzes and test (answer keys included)
• 3 in-class review PowerPoint presentations
• 2 activities
• 1 project
• Suggested pacing and learning targets

All of the resources are 100% editable, to modify to fit your classroom needs. The zip folder includes the Word document, which you have permission to edit completely. The PDF version and answer keys are included for your convenience. There are also PowerPoint presentations for some of the review documents.

I teach this course without a textbook, so everything that is provided here, can be used without supplementation.

******************************************************************************

The student-friendly learning targets for this unit are:

• Students will be able to identify and classify variables in a set of data
• Students will be able to represent categorical data in a frequency table, bar graph, and pie graph
• Students will be able to represent quantitative data in a frequency table and histogram
• Students will be able to find and interpret percentiles and to create an ogive
• Students will be able to construct and interpret data in a stemplot and dotplot
• Students will be able to calculate the measures of center (mean, median, and mode)
• Students will be able to calculate the measures of variability (standard deviation, IQR, and range)
• Students will be able to find the five-number summary and construct and interpret data in a boxplot.
• Students will be able to describe (shape, center, and spread), compare, and summarize information displayed in graphs

The Common Core Math Standards covered in this unit are:

• ID.A.1: Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).
• ID.A.2: Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
• ID.A.3: Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).

My regular level Statistics course includes the following units:

Unit 1 – One-Variable Data

Unit 2 – The Normal Distribution

Unit 3 – Two-Variable Data

Unit 4 – Collecting Data

Unit 5 – Probability

Unit 6 – Random Variables

Statistics: Full Semester Curriculum Bundle (Units 1 – 6)

Unit 7 – Sampling Distributions

Unit 8 – Confidence Intervals (Coming Soon!)

Unit 9 – Hypothesis Testing (Coming Soon!)

Unit 10 – Comparing Two Populations (Coming Soon!)

Unit 11 – Chi-Square Distributions (Coming Soon!)

Q: How is this different from my AP Statistics Unit 1 Unit Plans?

A: My AP Stat Unit 1 plans follow the AP Stat CED, which covered one-variable statistics as well as the Normal Distribution in 16 days. The pace is quicker, the notes are longer, and the questions are modeled off of the AP Exam questions. My new Statistics Unit 1 covers only one-variable statistics in 14 days, is slower-paced with shorter notes, and it has questions to help build a functional understanding of the listed learning targets.

Q: Can I use your AP Statistics materials in my on-level (regular level) Statistics course?

A: Absolutely! These unit plans fit a semester-long course in Statistics. My AP Statistics unit plans would fit perfectly for a year-long Statistics course. You can check out the full curriculum here. If you have more questions about the differences and want some help deciding what would work best in your class, please feel free to reach out via email or Q&A on TPT!
