2023-2024 WAG AP Statistics Week 2

CAMPUS: Science Academy DEPARTMENT: MATHEMATICS TEACHER: Mardonnia Silva SUBJECT: AP STATISTICS GRADE: 11 th to 12 th WEEK: August 14 to 18, 2023 Monday Tuesday/Wednesday Thursday/Friday AP STATISTICS COURSE SKILLS: 2 A, 2B, 2C, 4B SMART Goals: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to differentiate between discrete and continuous quantitative variables, calculate measures of central tendency, and describe the spread of data using measures of variability. ELPS: Students will apply academic vocabulary and syntax to express information and ideas effectively. AP STATISTICS COURSE SKILLS: 2D SMART Goals: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to compare and contrast distributions using box plots, histograms, and dot plots, and identify outliers. ELPS: Students will read, interpret, and evaluate complex texts and visual representations. AP STATISTICS COURSE SKILLS: SMART Goals: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the key concepts and skills by completing the BOY assessment for AP Statistics. ELPS: Students will apply critical-thinking skills to solve problems and make informed decisions. Content Objective: Students will understand the characteristics and representations of quantitative variables. Language Objective: Students will use appropriate academic vocabulary to describe and compare quantitative variables. Content Objective: Students will understand how to compare and analyze different distributions of data. Language Objective: Students will use appropriate academic vocabulary to describe and compare distributions. Content Objective: Students will assess their knowledge of the topics that will be covered in the course. Language Objective: Students will use appropriate academic language to explain their reasoning and solve statistical problems Do Now: Provide students with a data set and ask them to identify whether the variable is discrete or continuous. Do Now: Display multiple visual representations of data and ask students to identify any patterns or outliers. Do Now: Students will prepare for the BOY test. Direct Teach: Quantitative Variable Direct Teach: Comparing Distributions Direct Teach: NA Application: Introduce measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of variability (range, interquartile range, standard deviation). Demonstrate how to calculate these measures using sample data. Application: Teach students how to create and interpret box plots, histograms, and dot plots. Provide real-world scenarios where these graphical representations are useful. Application: NA Differentiation: Provide visual representations of the data for visual learners. Scaffold the calculation of measure of central tendency and variability by providing step-by-step instructions. Differentiation: Provide sentence frames for ELL to help them describe and compare distributions. Use a variety of datasets with different characteristics to engage students with different learning styles. Differentiation: Provide extra support and guidance to struggling students. Encourage students to ask questions and clarify any misunderstandings. Assessment: Have students analyze a given data set and calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation. Evaluate their understanding based on the accuracy of their calculations and appropriateness of their interpretations. Assessment: Give students a set of distributions represented by boxplots, histograms, or dot plots and ask them to compare and contrast the distributions, identify any outliers, and explain their reasoning. Assessment: BOY will be used as a formative assessment to gauge students’ understanding of the topics that will be covered. Identify areas of weaknesses that need further instruction. Exit Ticket: Explain the difference between discrete and continuous quantitative variables and provide an example of each. Exit Ticket: Ask students to describe one similarity and one difference between box plots and histograms. Exit Ticket: Ask students to reflect on their performance on the BOY and write down one concept or skill they feel confident about and one that they would like to review further. Homework: Assign a set of practice problems that involves calculating measures of central tendency and variability. Homework: Assign a set of practice problems that involves comparing distributions using various graphical representations. Homework: Provide students with AP-style practice questions for additional practice. Encourage them to explore the College Board’s AP Statistics released exams and scoring guide for further practice.
