The Grand Slam Probability Quest

This web quest intended audience is for a six grade level classroom. The standards that I implemented in the development of this lesson plan were derived from the state of Pennsylvania   academic standards. Please note below the standards addressed through this web quest.

 

Standard Area - 2.6: Statistics and Data Analysis

 

Grade Level - 2.6.6: GRADE 6

 

Standard - 2.6.6.A: Gather data from a variety of appropriate sources.

 

Standard - 2.6.6.B: Select an appropriate method to organize data; select an appropriate format to display data.

 

Assessment Anchor - M6.E.1: Formulate questions that can be addressed with data and/or collect, organize, display, and analyze data.

 

Anchor Descriptor - M6.E.1.1: Interpret data shown in frequency tables, histograms, circle, bar or double bar graphs, line or double line graphs or line plots.

 

M6.E.1.1.1: Analyze data and/or answer questions pertaining to data represented in frequency tables, circle graphs, double bar graphs, double line graphs or line plots (for circle graphs, no computation with percents).

 *Some additional notes to consider might be briefly reviewing how to calculate a simple probability before you begin.  I normally begin by using a deck of cards as well to demonstrate something different than what they will complete within the webquest.
