  1. Probability and Statistics ECI 695 February 26, 2009 Day 7

  2. Week 7 Agenda • Project 1: Turn in tonight • Return Focus Questions 1 • Analysis of “Blue Crab” data • Reading: NCTM Yearbook Chapters 1 and 2 • Math Activity: Stem and Leaf Plots • Reading: The Power of Representation: Graphs and Glyphs • DMI Chapter 5

  3. Focus questions chapter 4

  4. “Ten best Homeworks” • Homework is self-graded • Ten points per week • Accumulate your best ten • Submit grade at end of course

  5. The Blue Crab

  8. Blue Crab Data • Spreadsheet

  9. YEARBOOK CHAPTER 1

  10. GRAPHING WITH FOUR-YEAR-OLDS Yearbook Chapter 1

  11. Emerging Mathematical Abilities • Comprehending one-to-one correspondence • Understanding set membership • Retrieving information • Creating order

  12. Goal • Support children’s use of mathematical reasoning as they move from collecting to interpreting data.

  13. Professional Development • What are children capable of doing? • How do you talk with young children?

  14. Graphing through surveys Advantages: • Familiar activities • Interesting to children • Opportunities for mathematical reasoning • Cross-content areas

  15. Harold’s Survey

  16. Harold’s Accomplishments • Posed his own question • Demonstrated 1-to-1 correspondence • Displayed several levels of info • Invented symbols • Solved a problem (no answer) • Sought validity • Organized his recordings into groups

  17. Intention vs. Convention • “Just because a child’s product may look unconventional on the surface, it does not mean that it lacks intention.”

  18. Concerns • Graphs must conform to standard formats • Children must be shown “how” • Lack of confidence in their ability to collect and organize data • Fear of how to talk with children about their ideas

  19. Survey by “S.”

  20. L: Classroom Centers

  21. J: Community Workers

  22. YEARBOOK CHAPTER 2

  23. WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT“FIVE HAS A LOT?” Yearbook Chapter 2

  24. From the World to Data and Back • Changes over time

  25. Mittens

  26. 2nd Graders: Pockets

  27. Upper Elementary:Summarizing and Comparing • Data as “aggregate” (Konold) • Shape, spread, concentration • Mean and standard deviation; median and quartiles • Median: elementary • Mean: middle school

  28. Transitioning • Mode • Clumps • Measures of Central Tendency

  29. Clusters (5th graders)

  30. Recommendations • Have students develop representations • Meaning of symbols • Compare groups • Look for concentrations • Ask for descriptions of the clumps

  31. Math activity:Stem and leaf plots

  32. Consider this jump-rope data collected from two school classes. Which class did better overall?

  33. Number of Jumps

  34. Which class did better? • Eastern Shore: Ms. R • Portsmouth: Mr. S

  35. Baseball data

  36. Home Run Leaders, 1921-2001

  37. Which league is better?

  38. Home Run Leaders: Homework • Locate data for the years 2002-2008 • Add these numbers to the stem and leaf plot • Does this affect the comparison between leagues?

  39. Home Run Leaders: Homework • Create a joint stem and leaf plot for the years 1983-1995 and 1996-2008 • Combine the American League and National League data for this comparison • How do the “early years” compare with the “later years?”

  40. DMI CHAPTER 5

  41. DMI CHAPTER 6

  42. Math ActivityBox Plots

  43. Box plotsinauguration age data

  44. What do you think? • How old are presidents and vice presidents at the time of their inauguration?

  45. Box plots: Inauguration age data (Does not include 21st century elections)

  46. Ages of Presidents
