Lesson Plan: Comparing Data Mathematics

Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live Mathematics sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to compare two sets of data in a variety of contexts using tables and graphs.

Objectives

Students will be able to

compare the measures of central tendency and measures of spread of multiple data sets presented as both tables and graphs,
calculate the measures of central tendency and measures of spread of multiple data sets in real-world scenarios and use these to solve problems,
understand how transformations can affect the measures of central tendency and measures of spread of data sets and how to use this to compare data sets.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

representing data as a dot plot, frequency table, box-and-whisker plot, back-to-back stem-and-leaf plot, histogram, line graph, and so on,
measures of central tendency and measures of spread,
quartiles and interquartile range,
standard deviation.
