| Sixth Grade Recognize statistical questions as ones anticipating variability Understand that data used to answer statistical questions has a distribution that can be described by center and spread. Use measures of center to summarize all of the values in a data set with a single number Use measures of variation to summarize how all of the values in a data set vary with a single number

| 6.SP.A. Develop understanding of statistical variability. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages. 6.SP.A.2. Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape. 6.SP.A.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. 6.SP.B. Summarize and describe distributions. 6.SP.B.4. Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots. 6.SP.B.5. Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by: 6.SP.B.5a. Reporting the number of observations. 6.SP.B.5c. Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered. © Copyright 2010.

| The following lesson plan sequence is obtained from Big Ideas Learning (2015). Each lesson is aligned with a learning objective to inform the teachers on what students should be able to do at the end of the lesson. The student objective informs the students of their learning goals for the day and it should be reviewed before, during and at the end of the lesson. Each lesson includes a mathematics task that should be implemented to meet the learning objectives. Teachers can select from the practice opportunities to reinforce the learning goals of the day. |

| The use of sentence stems as a language support are beneficial to all students, including English Language Learners. The use of sentence stems encourages the learning of mathematics in a language rich environment which has an impact on other learning as well. The sentence stems are a beginning place for supporting students' use of academic language and encourage discussion and writing as students learn content. |
