Practice Tests
Chapter 18: Collecting and Describing Data
- How could the concept of sorting be linked to work in the number strand?
- What are some typical problems students have in using Venn diagrams?
Choose on of the problems you mentioned. How could you design instruction
to address it?
- What is an appropriate sequence of activities for students to engage
in when learning to ask good survey questions?
- How could knowing that if the same amount is added or subtracted from
all data values in a set then the mean increases or decreases by that
same value be a helpful skill for students?
- Why might it be better for your students to use the term mean than
the term average to talk about that particular statistic?
- What are the benefits to the student of asking them to create a set
of data with particular properties, e.g. a mean of 8 and a range of
10 as compared to calculating those statistics with provided data sets?
