Using box plots and scatter plots, identify data points that appear to be outliers.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Identify an outlier on a line graph.
  • Identify a similar distribution when given a choice of three (e.g., when shown a normal distribution, can select a second example of a normal distribution from three choices).
Representation:
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: best fit line, variable, outliers, box plot, scatter plots, data points.
  • Order data in numerical order.
  • Identify the median of a data set.
  • Identify the associations between the variables using supports.

Number: MAFS.8.SP.1.AP.1c Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 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.
