Please take a moment to re-introduce yourselves.

Then share one thing you did over the weekend that was fun!

1. When I get stuck, how can I get help?

2. What do I do if I am absent?

3. What are the class rules?

To answer these questions, let's go to Google Classroom > Stream to look at our class' syllabus.

Procedures are things you will often need to do when you are in a class. Procedures tell students how to do the simple, everyday things -- so that everyone can do the routine stuff and stay focused on learning the new stuff.

Let's take the next seven minutes to review and discuss the first half of our class procedures -- so everyone knows how to accomplish the routine tasks.

A 3 x 3 x 3 cube is made up of 27 individual (small) cubes. If I dip it in pink paint, how many individual (small) cubes now have pink paint on 3 sides, 2 sides, 1 side, and 0 sides?

When you're working on the whiteboards in random groups, you want to be in the right column of our rubric.

Let's take the next seven minutes to review and discuss the second half of our class procedures -- so everyone knows how to accomplish the routine tasks.

1. What will we be learning?

2. Where is my textbook?

3. How do I find my assignments - CYUQs?

To answer these questions, let's go to Google Classroom > Stream to look at our class' syllabus.

As we work together to master the math standards, we will use a McGraw Hill math textbook.

To get to the online textbook, go to Clever > Click McGraw Hill

Today, I will give you your physical textbooks (V1 and V2). Please LEAVE THESE AT HOME.

Both the physical and online versions have examples. In addition, the online version contains tutoring videos, self-check quizzes, step-by-step solutions for selected problems, and a Multilingual eGlossary.

Google Classroom is the place to get information about our class.

I use Google Classroom to post class information, assignments and share links.

I do not use Google Classroom to collect work. I do not do any grading with Google Classroom. I do not message with Google Classroom.

Assignments that are due -- from any class -- show up in the To-Do list. If you want to remove them from your to-do-list, click Mark As Done. You can see all assignments (even the ones you've marked as done) by going to Google Classroom's Classwork Tab.

Please go to Clever > Google Classroom > go to our class > Classwork (or ToDo) and open today's assignment, and follow the link to complete the survey.

When finished, go to Clever > McGraw Hill > Math Course 1 and explore

Statistical vs. a non-statistical question

What do the questions in your "statistical questions column" have in common?

What do the questions in your "non-statistical questions column" have in common?

What is the difference between the two types of questions?

A statistical question anticipates varied answers (variability). Example: What are the favorite colors of students in the school?

A non-statistical question has a single, definite answer. Example: How many days are in the month of March?

The answers to a statistical question are called data. Data is information such as facts and numbers that can be used to analyze something or make decisions.

There are two kinds of data:

Discrete data is data you can count. It only has specific, separate values, like whole numbers. For example, the number of students in a class or how many pets someone has. You can’t have 2.5 students or 3.7 pets!

Continuous data is data that can take any value within a range. It’s like measuring something that can be in between numbers, like how tall someone is or the temperature outside. You can have 5.3 feet or 72.8 degrees.

Examples of both kinds of data:

In your notebook, create two statistical questions.

The answers to one of the questions will result in discrete data (whole numbers).

The answers to the other question will result in continuous data (parts of a whole).

Refer to yesterday's assignment, the questions you wrote in your notebook, and share one of the statistical questions you created.

On the blank side, write: First name, last name, U1T1

What is the difference between a statistical question and a non-statistical question?

Write on the board:

Introduce the two types of data: discrete (whole numbers) and continuous (whole numbers and parts of a whole)

Use these examples:

You and your group are going to create statistical questions for a REAL SURVEY that we will be using to get to know each other.

Work with your group to create at least four statistical questions that will allow you to collect both kinds of data.

One person from your group, go to Google Classroom > our class > Classwork.

Click the link to share your group's two favorite statistical questions -- one that will result in discrete data (whole numbers) and another that will result in continuous data (whole numbers and parts of a whole)

1. How does grading work?

2. What is a formative assessment?

3. What is a summative assessment?

To answer these questions, let's go to Google Classroom > Stream to look at our class' syllabus.

In a moment, I will pass yesterday's entry ticket back to you.

The first thing you want to do is glue it into your notebook. It is one of your learning archives.

Secondly, let's review some Level 3 work and discuss. If you scored a 1 or a 2, you are welcome to revise your original answer -- but I encourage you to leave your original answer (don't erase it, simply put a line through it and write your revised answer above, below or next to it)

I do make mistakes! Please check PowerSchool to verify that the number on your entry ticket is the same number I entered in PowerSchool.

Great job of creating statistical questions yesterday! I used your submissions to create our Get to Know Your Class Survey Part 1.

* Bonus: how do you know that the questions in this survey are statistical questions?

Here is the data we collected!
