This webinar is part 2 in a series. These webinars briefly introduce the new Middle School Math Modeling curriculum resource, Making Sense of Data.
We are inundated with data every waking moment. How do we know what to pay attention to? What is valuable and useful data? What is biased? How do we sort and categorize it so we can extract meaning from and interpret the messages it contains? How can we model systems with it? How can we use it to help us make hypotheses or answer questions?
In this unit, we will uncover fundamental statistical models: probability, central tendency, and variability, and try our best to make predictions and draw conclusions from data. Along the way, we will learn ways of sorting, organizing, and representing data which is key to being able to communicate what it contains to others.
In this second installment, we will engage in activities that students can use to apply the models they have constructed.
