Well we got through yesterday when we all expected to have a snow day or at least a few extra hours of time in the morning due to the nor easter on Sunday. Oh well, at least we are one day closer to summer vacation!
Objective for the day: surprise!- DATA ANALYSIS
Anyways, here we are on Tuesday. We need to review the histogram graph and the specifics on it such as the frequency table ( table that organizes how frequent the data appear in the intervals) and the intervals ( range of numbers rather than a specific one)that make this graph unique. With of all the graphs we have studied so far in this chapter, the histogram is another graphic way to organize data(information) so that meanings, conjectures and conclusions may be drawn.
Along with the several graphs, bar graphs(comparing),line graphs(span over time), stem and leaf plot(unique place value), box and whisker plot( 3 medians that make the box with the 2 whisker outliers), or the histogram( frequency tables and intervals), we need to draw meaning from the mean, median, mode and range pertaining to these graphs.
Homework for the night is to study for the test on Chapter 3 on Wednesday. The classwork is the chapter review at the end of the chapter- you may work in teams and do this on whiteboards or whatever to make this happen. I will not be collecting this work, but none the less, expect you and your partners to do the review to prepare for the test on Wednesday. Remember, that you may use a calculator on the test, so bring it in as it will be a dear friend to use calculating all those means. Another way to help prepare for the upcoming test is to go on classzone.com and work on the animated math or eworkbooks, and of course, ask me any question you have prior to the testing if you come across anything confusing while reviewing.
