Navigating through Data Analysis in Grades 6-8
George W. Bright, Wallece Brewer, Kay McClain, Edward S. Mooney
This book provides activities that present data analysis as a process. Students discover how to "interrogate" data sets and use numerical summaries to make sense of data. As they compare data sets with equal numbers of elements, students learn about spread, variability, and distribution. They apply these ideas, along with multiplicative reasoning and an understanding of relative frequency, as they compare data sets with unequal numbers of elements. Students then investigate bivariate data, constructing scatterplots and making inferences about possible relationships between two characteristics under study.
Supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.
