IMPORTANT! Due to the extension of the Digital Learning Days, I have had to make adjustments to upcoming lessons and will need to postpone today's mini-lesson. Rather than the mini-lessons on Zoom this week focusing on Functions, Slopes, and Linear Equations, we will have Zoom lessons that will focus on Statistics & Probabilities and creating Two-Way Tables. For these lesson's you will be focusing on creating tables, analyzing the relationship between data, and calculating and interpreting relative frequency. We will have our "Boot Camp" Review on Functions, Slopes, and Linear Equations after we conclude this unit. Instructions on the Zoom lesson will be included on with the daily Lesson Activity. Learning Target I can use the equation of a linear model to solve problems with bivariate data by interpreting the slope and intercept. (MGSE8.SP.3) Learning Activity To assist in completing today's learning activity, watch the following two videos and review the three videos from last Thursday's post. Then go to USA TestPrep and complete the assignment called 'Statistics 3/30'. As always, if you have any questions, send me a message through GroupMe or e-mail me at [email protected].

I can describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association through a targeted practice on Freckle.com Learning Activity Today you will explore the different patterns that are used to describe scatter plots. In your exploration, you will watch a video that illustrates the different patterns, use Quizlet to review these patterns, and complete a short targeted practice on USA TestPrep called "Statistics 1." Note On the embedded Quizlet below. It has been created so that you can select your choice of study. Simply use the "Choose Study Mode" drop down to make your selection. I would recommend that you try them all. As always, if you have any questions, send me a message through GroupMe or e-mail me at [email protected]. Scatter Plot AssociationsDescribe Patterns of a Scatter PlotLearning Target I can construct scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities through a targeted practice on Freckle.com Learning Target I can interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities through a targeted practice on Freckle.com Learning Activity Today we will be delving into a type of mathematics called Statistics and Probabilities. As I can almost hear the groans and feel the eye rolls from many of you as you read this, I assure you that this is a type of mathematics that many of you may already be using or are familiar with without even realizing. For all our football fans, how many of you can tell me the number of touchdown passes the quarterback of your favorite team has thrown last year or over the course of his career, or the running back's total rushing yards, or even the number of tackles of a defensive lineman? As football fans, we must recognize that "football is a game of numbers, and the study of statistics is essential for analyzing and understanding the game." (Statistics in Football). As fans we use statistics to measure how well our team is doing. Players use statistics to understand their personal strengths and areas that need growth. Coaches use statistics to determine goal performance for their current players, identify strengths and weakness of opposing teams, and identify possible recruiting talents. Statistics and Probabilities is not exclusive to football or sports. It is also used in many government agencies to analyze data; science and medical studies on interventions and health; psychology in studies of human behavior; and education to evaluate teaching strategies, students performance, and assessments. In our exploration of Statistics and Probabilities in the 8th grade, you will investigate patterns of association in bivariate data. You will begin with watching videos on constructing and interpreting scatter plots for bivariate measurement data below. Then you will complete a short targeted practice on constructing and interpreting scatter plots on USA TestPrep called "Construct and Interpret Scatter plots." As always, if you have any questions, send me a message through GroupMe or e-mail me at [email protected]. Constructing and Interpreting Scatter PlotsInterpreting Scatter PlotsLearning Target I can use functions to model relationships by constructing a function to model a linear relationship, determine and interpret the rate of change, and describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities when completing a Common Formative Assessment. Learning Activity Along with adjusting to a new form of learning, we have also covered a lot in class this week! We have learned to identify the rate of change and the initial value from tables, graphs, and equations; we have learned to write a model for a linear function; and how to sketch a graph when given a description of a situation. Today we are going to assess how well we have learned this week. Go to USA TestPrep and take the "Quiz - M8U6 Functions Friday 3/20." You have will have three attempt to improve your score. Additionally, I have extended the due dates to all assignments to Sunday, March 22nd. Below are two OPTIONAL videos that have been helpful to some students that have received them individually, so they may be helpful to you also. As always, if you have any questions, send me a message through GroupMe or e-mail me at [email protected]. Modeling Word Problems with Linear Functions, Part 1Modeling Word Problems with Linear Functions, Part 2Before we get to today's lesson, I want to thank everyone that has been working on the assignments and participating in the Digital Learning Days. I know at times we have come across some hiccups, such as apps not wanting to work, traffic jams from overloading the system, or just the simpler issues like "I don't get any of this!" Together, we have worked through the kinks and are finding success in this new virtual learning world. Again, thank you! Learning Target I can describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph. Learning Activity Today, we will will watch a couple of videos that illustrates how we can describe, qualitatively, the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph and then complete a shorter assignment on USA TestPrep. As always, if you have any questions, send me a message through GroupMe or e-mail me at [email protected]. Describing Function GraphsDescribing Functional RelationshipsLearning Target I can determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x,y) values, by reading these from a table or from a graph. Learning Activity Yesterday we explore how to construct a function to model linear relationship. Today we will continue looking at linear relationship as we learn to determine the rate of change (ROC) and initial value of a function. You will be using some of your background knowledge from last unit by looking at slope (m) in a new light. You learned last unit about slope and how to find slope graphically and algebraically. This unit, we will see how slope can be used to in real-world scenarios to provide us with information regarding the change in a value over time, the momentum of a variable, or the rate of change (ROC). Watch the following four videos to learn more about writing a linear function from a function table and determing the rate of change from a graph, a table, or a world problem. After watching the videos, go to USA TestPrep and complete the "Determining and Interpreting ROC of a Linear Function" Activity.
