data analysis

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Interpret a situation and represent the variables mathematically.
• Select appropriate mathematical methods.
• Interpret and evaluate the data generated.
• Communicate their reasoning

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Interpret a situation and represent the variables mathematically. Select appropriate mathematical methods to use. Explore the effects of systematically varying the constraints.
• Interpret and

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range from a frequency chart.
• Use a frequency chart to describe a possible data set, given information on the mean, median, mode, and range.

This module has been developed from the Battelle Data Analysis Module Template and adapted for Metro Early College High School students in Learning Centers (Bodies [biomedical], Digital [music], Design [engineering], and Growth [agriculture]). These are advanced students and mostly juniors....

In this task, students will use their understanding of how natural selection leads to the predominance of certain traits in a population and the suppression of others to explain the frequencies of traits in a bacterial population and to consider the impact an antibiotic has on a bacterial...

For this task, students will choose two colleges in different locations to analyze. Students will create and use trend lines and r2 values to analyze tuition and enrollment data from each college. They will use data from the past 5 years to fit functions to this data and make predictions for the...

This accident reconstruction report asks students to use data supplied to analyze and make an informed decision on whether a guardrail company or the driver was at fault when a car crashed through the guardrail.

Students work in lab groups to construct and take data from a device designed to prevent heat loss from a small amount of water.  Individual students then graph and analyze the data from this experiment and communicate conclusions about the effectiveness of their device.  (See Student...

This resource guides practitioners as they collect, prepare, and use performance assessment data to drive student achievement and quality instruction.  

The purpose of the Quality Performance Assessment (QPA) Framework is to provide guidance to teachers and adminis-
trators on how to design a performance assessment system.

In Part 1, students will solve constructed response questions about Olympic long jump distances, where they must compare, add, and subtract decimals. In Part 2, students will compare data and answer questions based on the 2008 Olympic distances and the 2012 Olympic distances. In Part 3, students...

In this task, students will create at least 3 different types of infographics, as well as a final write-up describing various pieces of their infographics.

In this task, each student produces a paper and a final presentation in which he/she analyzes a regression model for a bivariate data set of their choice and argues the extent to which reliable predictions can be made with their models.

For this project, students will first build and study a functioning, semi-closed ecosystem. They will model this ecosystem using diagrams. They will collect, organize, and interpret data about how the ecosystem changes over time. Lastly, they will develop a testable question, hypothesis, and...

Students gather real-world data and then analyze the data using kinematics equations.

Students need to review video footage of a selected college quarterback and NFL quarterback. Students evaluate this data to determine how far the ball is thrown. Students make approximations of the...

This project will introduce students to their first time writing a statistical analysis paper and collecting their own data.

First, students will practice sampling using a random number generator to understand sampling methods and how to choose the best methods.

Second, students...
