This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on computing the median, upper quartile, and lower quartile of a data set. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the data set and what it represents as well as ordering the numbers from least to greatest. Then, they identify the median and calculate the lower quartile and the upper quartile. Finally, they interpret the answer within the context of the problem. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on computing the mean, median, and mode of data sets. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students order the numbers from least to greatest. Then, they compute the mean by adding all the values in the data set and dividing by the number of items. They compute the median by identifying the middle number, realizing that if there is an even number, they will need to find the sum of the two middle values and divide by two. They compute the mode by identifying the most frequent number in the data set. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on representing probability as ratios and percentages. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and identify what probability they are looking for. Then, they write the number of ways the event can occur and determine the number of total outcomes. Finally, they write the probability as a ratio and reduce, if needed, and then write it as a percentage. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on representing outcomes for compound events. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and identify the desired outcome. Then, they use a tree diagram or table to determine the outcomes. Finally, they list all the outcomes for the compound event, identify the desired outcomes, and set up a fraction to determine the probability of the event. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on identifying different ways of selecting a sample. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the scenario, noting clues that help to identify the sampling method. Then, they identify the sampling method used in the survey (random, convenience, or self-selected), and explain how they know. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This conditional probability lesson teaches students how to construct and interpret two-way frequency tables. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will use data from a sample group relating to two different categories to estimate simple and conditional probabilities. Students will interpret data given in the table and narrative forms and construct a two-way frequency table from the narrative data.
