Context of Lesson: The students have been learning about how to represent data in this chapter and
how to describe it using numbers. Today is the first day of review.
Overview: I will start the hour by doing an activity with the students to review median and standard
deviation. Then I will give the students their review that they can work on for the rest of the hour.
Objective: Explain and solve for mean and standard deviation given a data set.
Students will be able to: Solve for mean and standard deviation.
Anticipated student conceptions or challenges to understanding: I anticipate that students will need
help reviewing standard deviation so I have an activity prepared.
