Standards

• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Content.HSS-IC.A.1 - Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Content.HSS-IC.B.6 - Evaluate reports based on data.
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Content.HSS-IC.B.4 - Use data from a sample survey to estimate a population mean or proportion; develop a margin of error through the use of simulation models for random sampling.
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Content.HSS-IC.A.1 - Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Content.HSS-ID.A.2 - Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Practice.MP7 - Look for and make use of structure.
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Content.HSS-MD.B.6 - (+) Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g., drawing by lots, using a random number generator).
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Content.HSS-ID.A.4 - Use the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution and to estimate population percentages. Recognize that there are data sets for which such a procedure is not appropriate. Use calculators, spreadsheets, and tables to estimate areas under the normal curve.
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Practice.MP4 - Model with mathematics.
• [Common Core] CCSS.Math.Content.HSS-ID.A.1 - Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).

Competencies

• Critical Thinking & Problem Solving - Students consider a variety of innovative approaches to address and understand complex questions that are authentic and important to their communities.
• Collaboration - Students co-design projects with peers, exercise shared-decision making, strengthen relational agency, resolve conflict, and assume leadership roles.
• Effective Communication - Students practice listening to understand, communicating with empathy, and share their learning through exhibiting, presenting and reflecting on their work.
• Content Expertise - Students develop key competencies, skills, and dispositions with ample opportunities to apply knowledge and engage in work that matters to them.
• Academic Mindset - Students establish a sense of place, identity, and belonging to increase self-efficacy while engaging in critical reflection and action.
• Self Directed Learning - Students use teacher and peer feedback and self-reflection to monitor and direct their own learning while building self knowledge both in and out of the classroom.
