Math Lesson Plans: Shelly Flud
Week of February 20-24
Monday
Statistical vs. Non-Statistical Questions
Standard/Objective:
6.DS.1 Differentiate between statistical and non-statistical questions.
Tuesday
Plan for the Day:
-Students complete FIRST FIVE. Check homework.
-HOOK- Brain Pop Statistics
-Discuss prior knowledge of probability and statistics.
-Introduce Statistical versus non-statistical questions.
-Have students use whiteboards to name the type.
-Have volunteers give sample questions for each type.
Homework: See student agenda.
Assessment:
Teacher observation, Completed First Five Problems, Notebook, Class Participation
Integrated Technology:
SMARTBoard, Brain Pop
Measures of Center
Standard/Objective:
6.DS.1 Differentiate between statistical and non-statistical questions. 6.DS.2 Use center (mean, median, mode), spread (range, interquartile range, mean
absolute value), and shape (symmetrical, skewed left, skewed right) to describe the distribution of a set of data collected to answer a statistical question.
6.DS.3 Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation
describes how its values vary with a single number.
Wednesday
Plan for the Day:
-Students complete FIRST FIVE.
-HOOK- Flocabulary Mean, Median, and Mode: Get the Data
-Distribute a pack of skittles to each student.
-Have students count the number of skittles in each pack and record the total number as well as
number of each color.
-Use this data to construct line plots and introduce mean, median, mode, and range.
-Distribute notes on measures of center for students to paste in notebooks.
Homework: See student agenda.
Assessment:
Teacher observation, Completed Word problems, Notebook, Class Participation

Plan for the Day:
-Students complete FIRST FIVE Weekly Assessment. Check homework.
-HOOK- Brain Pop Mean, Median, Mode, and Range
-Review skittles lesson from yesterday.
-Distribute survey for students to answer questions.
-Use data collected from the survey to continue working on mean, median, mode, and range.
-Have volunteers create line plots and derive the measures of center.
Homework: See student agenda.

Statistical Questions and Measures of Center Review
Standard/Objective:
6.DS.2 Use center (mean, median, mode), spread (range, interquartile range, mean absolute value), and shape (symmetrical, skewed left, skewed right) to
describe the distribution of a set of data collected to answer a statistical question. 6.DS.3 Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set
summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
Friday
Plan for the Day:
-Students complete FIRST FIVE. Check homework.
-HOOK-Chromebooks will be on the desks when students enter.
-Students will complete review assignment in Google Classroom.
-Students will complete Review lessons in Study Island to practice statistical questions and
measures of center.
Homework: See student agenda.
Assessment:
Teacher observation, Assignment Completion
Integrated Technology:

Data and MDC Pre-assessment
Standard/Objective:
6.DS.2 Use center (mean, median, mode), spread (range, interquartile range, mean absolute value), and shape (symmetrical, skewed left, skewed right) to
describe the distribution of a set of data collected to answer a statistical question. 6.DS.3 Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set
summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
Plan for the Day:
-Begin looking at spread (range, interquartile range, mean absolute value), and shape (symmetrical,
skewed left, skewed right).
-Go back to line plots from the week and identify these stats from those line plots. Discuss the shape and
center and how changing the data can affect those.
-MDC Pre-Assessment
Administer the pre-assessment for Monday’s MDC lesson.
