Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?


General Information

Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 8
Domain-Subdomain: Statistics & Probability
Cluster: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning
Cluster: Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data. (Supporting Cluster) -

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

N/A EE: Equation Editor
Sample Item 2

Five hundred students were asked whether they prefer apple juice or orange juice. The table shown displays the results.

How many more girls were surveyed than boys?

N/A EE: Equation Editor
Sample Item 3

The manager of an ice cream shop is considering which ice cream flavor to offer as the special flavor next month. She asks 175 people whether they like mint or strawberry ice cream.

The manager wants to increase sales, so she is deciding whether to offer mint or strawberry ice cream.

Complete the sentence to support the best decision based on the relative frequencies in the table.

The manager should offer _____ ice cream because _____ of the customers surveyed like mint and _____ of the customers like strawberry.

Lesson Plans

Name Description
Where Should We Move? STEM Lesson Plan

Students will collect data to identify planet composition, average temperature, and the distance of some planets within the Milky Way Galaxy from the Sun. Students will complete two-way tables to make comparisons. Students will then analyze and interpret their data. Students will make inferences and justify their reasoning.

Height Arm Juxtaposition

This lesson is a Follow Up Activity to the Algebra Institute and allows students to apply their skills on analyzing bivariate data. This STEM lesson allows students the opportunity to investigate if there is a linear relationship between a person's height and arm length. Using technology the students will explore in-depth how to perform a least square regression as a procedure for determining the line of best fit.

Two-Way Math Survey

In this lesson, students will construct a two-way table based on data given. They will interpret the data to find if there is a correlation between the two variables from the same subject. As the lesson progresses, students will create their own testable questions that they will collect data on using the survey method. Students will show their mastery of this math concept with the presentation of the data in a two-way table and interpretation of the data to draw inferences.

Tackling 2 Way Tables

This highly engaging and interactive lesson will have students constructing 2 way tables, calculating relative frequency and analyzing the bivariate data to determine a possible association between the two variable categories.

Problem-Solving Tasks

Name Description
Music and Sports

This task asks the student to gather data on whether classmates play an instrument and/or participate in a sport, summarize the data in a table and decide whether there is an association between playing a sport and playing an instrument. Finally, the student is asked to create a graph to display any association between the variables.

What's Your Favorite Subject?

Students are asked to examine data given in table format and then calculate either row percentages or column percentages and state a conclusion about the meaning of the data. Either calculation is appropriate for the solution since there is no clear relationship between the variables. Whether the student sees a strong association or not is less important than whether his or her answer uses the data appropriately and demonstrates understanding that an association means the distribution of favorite subject is different for 7th graders and 8th graders.
