11. Warm Up OBJECTIVE: SWBAT distinguish between measures of center and measures of variation and use interquartile range (IQR) as a measure of variation to describe data distributions. Language Objective: SWBAT write what measures of variation are, how we find them, and why we use them. Yesterday in class, you filled out an index card with real world examples of data sets with wide ranges and narrow ranges. Today as our warm up, the class will be tested on its understanding of range using the examples you created! Agenda

12. Warm Up OBJECTIVE: SWBAT distinguish between measures of center and measures of variation and use interquartile range (IQR) as a measure of variation to describe data distributions. Language Objective: SWBAT write what measures of variation are, how we find them, and why we use them. After an example has been read aloud: • IN YOUR HEAD, determine whether the example represents a data set with a wide range or a narrow range. • When you hear a clap, move your arms to represent your answer. Arm Movements Wide range = Arms are outstretched Narrow range = Hands are close together Agenda

13. Agenda: OBJECTIVE: SWBAT distinguish between measures of center and measures of variation and use interquartile range (IQR) as a measure of variation to describe data distributions. Language Objective: SWBAT write what measures of variation are, how we find them, and why we use them. 1) Warm Up – Review of the Range (Whole Class)5 Mins 2) Launch – Test Scores: Is the Range Useful?

14. Launch – Review Turn and Talk (30 sec) number of toppings students like When we analyze data, what are we looking for? Median Center Mean Range Today! Spread (Measure of Variation) Interquartile Range Mean Absolute Deviation Shape Agenda

15. Launch Think-Pair-Share Test Scores: Would you expect a wide or narrow range? Twenty students take a social studies test. The range of the scores is 98 points. The teacher is worried that there is such a wide range of scores. How do you think the students performed? Agenda

16. Launch Whole Class The test scores are below. How do you think the students performed? Agenda

17. Launch Whole Class In this example, was the range a useful measure of variation to use to determine how a class of students performed? NO!! Agenda

18. Explore Turn and Talk Since the range is greatly influenced by outliers, we also use the interquartile range (IQR) to describe the variability of a data set. Are there any parts of the word interquartile that look familiar to you? inter quartile Between Quarters Agenda

19. Explore Notes Quartiles: the points that divide a data set into roughly four equally-sized parts To divide the data set into fourths: 1) Find the median 64° 60° 62° 67° 59° 62° 59° 70° 66° 70° 62° 62° 67° 65° 80° 59° 59° 60° 62° 62° 62° 62° 64° 65° 66° 67° 67° 70° 70° 80° median Agenda 19 19

20. Explore Whole Class Now that we have found the median (64°), how many equal parts do we have? Two roughly equal parts! What should we do next to break our data set into quartiles? Break the two parts we have in half to make four parts! Remember that quartiles are the points that divide a data set into roughly four equally-sized parts! 59° 59° 60° 62° 62° 62° 62° 64° 65° 66° 67° 67° 70° 70° 80° median Agenda 20 20

Word Bank Greater than 50% Between data Less than ½ 59° 59° 60° 62° 62° 62° 62° 64° 65° 66° 67° 67° 70° 70° 80° “50% of the days were less than 64°” “Half of the days were between 62° and 67°” Sentence Starters Agenda Hint

28. Explore Turn and Talk Now that we know what quartiles are, what is the interquartile range? Hint Agenda

29. Explore Vocabulary What is the interquartile range? The interquartile range is the difference between the upper and lower quartiles in a data set. Interquartile Range = upper quartile (Q3) – lower quartile (Q1) 67° – 62° = 5° 59° 59° 60° 62° 62° 62° 62° 64° 65° 66° 67° 67° 70° 70° 80° lower quartile (Q1) upper quartile (Q3) Interquartile range Agenda

30. Summary Think-Pair-Share How could you explain the interquartile range in sixth grade language? Sentence starters could include: The interquartile range represents… The interquartile range is the spread of… Scaffolding Agenda

43. Assessment - Exit Ticket Individual I am a bit confused! Today we talked about measures of center, measures of variation, range, quartiles, and interquartile range. These words still look like jibberish to me! Can you give me an overview of: • what measures of variation are • how to find measures of variation • why measures of variation are used Please include range, quartiles, and interquartile range in your explanation. Agenda

44. 21st Century Lessons The goal… The goal of 21st Century Lessons is simple: We want to assist teachers, particularly in urban and turnaround schools, by bringing together teams of exemplary educators to develop units of high-quality, model lessons. These lessons are intended to: • Support an increase in student achievement; • Engage teachers and students; • Align to the National Common Core Standards and the Massachusetts curriculum frameworks; • Embed best teaching practices, such as differentiated instruction; • Incorporate high-quality multi-media and design (e.g., PowerPoint); • Be delivered by exemplary teachers for videotaping to be used for professional development and other teacher training activities; • Be available, along with videos and supporting materials, to teachers free of charge via the Internet. • Serve as the basis of high-quality, teacher-led professional development, including mentoring between experienced and novice teachers.
