SIMULATIONS
13
Simulations How Long is a Minute Measurement Bias Random Sampling
14
How Long is a Minute? Results from our class
15
How Long is a Minute Video First-grade students Look for teacher and student actions and communication Note specific instances
16
Measurement Bias
18
Problem C1 Would you say that the errors you made in the visual judgments of the Interactive Activity were due to random error, or to bias? Why or why not?
19
Bias in Measurement

Random Sampling
21
H1, H2, H3
22
H1: Pine Needles a. Think of a question that collecting this data might answer.
23
H1: Pine Needles b. Notice that the 20 pine-needle measurements are not all the same. What is the source of this variation?
24
H1: Pine Needles c. If you have access to some pine needles, measure the length (to the nearest millimeter) of 10 different needles with a metric ruler. If you do not have access to pine needles, measure the length (to the nearest millimeter) of 10 different pieces of spaghetti with a metric ruler. Are the lengths the same?
25
H2: Nickels
26
Nickel Investigation
27
Nickel Activity Look at some nickels and see if you can locate the mint mark. Record date and mint mark Report Findings
28
Nickel Photographs Date on Coin 1963 1977 1981 1988 1994 1996 1999 2004 Mint Mark None D D P P P P

Sort the Data Spreadsheet
31
Homework Data Any observations?
32
Nickel Video a)There are differences in the mint locations. What is the source of this variation? b)There are differences in the mint years. What is the source of this variation? c)What observations can you make about this data? For example, which location appears most frequently? Which decade? d)When were the coins with no mint location minted? Does this suggest any new statistical questions? e)Record the mint locations and years for 10 of your own nickels. How do your data compare to the data recorded above? f)Suppose you knew that the coins with no given mint location were in fact minted in either Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco. Can you pinpoint where these coins were minted? Defend your answer, using the data in this problem.
33
H3: Pulse Rate Sources of variation?

GETTING STARTED WITH DATA DMI Working with Data, Chapter 1
37
Math Activity: A Data Investigation Work in groups of 3. Answer the question individually. Collect answers from everyone at your site. Analyze the responses in your group. Sort the data in two different ways, each containing at least 3 categories.
38
Example What is your favorite snack food? Answers:popcorn, pudding, fruit, jello, cheese and crackers, ice cream, peanuts, potato chips, popcorn Categories?
39
Your Question With what well-known person would you most like to have a conversation?

FOCUS QUESTIONS
42
Focus Questions: Chapter 1 1.Look through Alexandra’s and Beverly’s cases. Identify by line number, statements made by at least 5 different children that you think bring up important ideas or issues about collecting, representing, or describing data.
43
Case 3 Olivia 2. In Olivia’s case 3, consider the data about family size: Write down a few statements that describe the data. What are the most important features of this data set?
