Learning Target: Create and analyze dot plots, histograms, and relative frequency histograms as well as describe the shape of a distribution

Write down in your notebook the learning target (the title of the blog), and the warm up.

Warm Up: p.102 #29 without a calculator

Goals:
• Check yesterday’s hw with the group. Everyone needs the same answer. I will come around and check the answers from one person in the group. That person leads the hw check discussion. I do not expect perfection. I do expect effort. If someone came with no work completed on a problem, they have nothing to contribute and that person puts the group behind. This is NOT OK. At the very least, if you are confused, write a few questions you need answered so you can proceed on the problem.
• Finish Investigation 1 work.

HW: Finish everything except the STM. We are going to go over it tomorrow before the MIQ.

Reflection: We talked today about when you describe the distribution to be sure to include the shape (skewed or normal), center (mean or median), and spread (range). We also discussed that a number needs to be given for the center and the spread even if it’s an estimate. If you need help problem, consult your vocabulary because I made it very extensive or email me before 9pm.

  1. Mrs. LaCroix just how exactly do you post data on the CPMP Tools thing? I don't know how to insert data

  2. I am not very familiar with the computer algebra system or the statistical software on CPMP Tools. You should play around with it, and see if it will do what you want. It may not. I put on my syllabus that CPMP tools isn't as good as a graphing calculator, but if you play around with it you might get it to work. Sorry I can't help more. There are a few things I can do, but my experience with this computer program is so limited that I am not much help. Sorry.
