Real World

Teacher Page

New York State Standards Addressed:

Standard 1: Analysis, Inquiry, and Design

Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and

engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek

answers, and develop solutions.

Goals:

·  Students will understand the importance of statistics.

·  Students will be able to display their data clearly.

·  They will understand why different groups offer different responses.

·  They will see different areas of real life where statistics is in motion.

·  Students will be engaged in learning, in a different style, why statistics exist.

Suggestions:

·  40 surveys might be a lot you may want to have students not survey so many people.

·  Maybe limit their choices. Sometimes when they have so many options it’s hard for them to make a decision.
