Today we began Box and Whisker Plots:

The students recieved a note sheet and watched a video we also constructed a box and whisker plot together. We will continue these tomorrow.

We started with Bellwork reviewing stem and leaf, histograms, and line/dot plot

Notes:

Creating a box and whisker plot:

Step 1: Order the data from least to greatest

Step 2: Find the median – this will divide the data into two parts

Step 3: Look at the lower part of the data- Find the lower quartile- or lower median

Step 4: Look at the upper part of the data- Find the upper quartile- or upper median

Step 5: Identify the lower extreme and upper extreme

- the smallest number and the largest number

Then we watched a video to introduce Line Plots/Dot Plots.

Then we took notes and practiced with our teams about how to create Line plots/ dot plots. We also discussed and sloved mode, mean, median, and range from using a data set on a line plot/dot plot.

Finally we introduced Stem and leaf plots and how to read the stem and leaf plots

Mrs. Graff was absent so the students worked on their packet which is due on 2/28/13.

Wednesday, February 13

Today we worked in small groups practicing Mode, Median, Mean, & Range.


At the beginning of class the students had two lists of numbers they needed to order from least to greatest, we then used those numbers for our team activity for the day.

The students used a team card to show their work and make comments of each others work for neighboring teams.

Lastly the students completed an exit slip, pictured below!

Exit Slip

Find the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range for this data list:

98, 90, 9, 189, 167, 151, 184, 168, 129, 84, 151, 78
