5 Backgroud Iformatio Studets live i a iformatio age that abouds with data. Various media cotiually offer iformatio o fashio, etertaimet, sports, fiaces, safety, health, ad world evets. Studets ecouter data regularly at school, i their marks, i sciece experimets, i social studies iformatio, ad so o. To be helpful, data eeds to be categorized ad uderstood. Statistics help reduce large quatities of data to sigle values. The sigle value makes it much simpler to coceptualize ad commuicate about the iformatio cotaied i the data. Statistics, however, are sometimes maipulated or preseted i a maer that uses facts to mislead people ad sway their opiios. By studyig statistics, studets develop their ability to uderstad ad evaluate iformatio preseted i advertisig, politics, ad ews reports, ad to commuicate their experiece with data. Measures of Cetral Tedecy I previous grades, studets collected data first had ad from electroic sources, ad leared whe to use each source. I Grade 7, studets are itroduced to three statistical measures of cetral tedecy: mea, media, ad mode. Each is a umeric value attemptig to represet a etire set of data. Each measure is a average with its ow focus, stregths, ad weakesses. The more symmetrical the set of data is, the closer the measures of cetral tedecy will be to oe aother. The more skewed the set of data is, the greater the differece betwee the values will be. The differet measures are best used i differet situatios, although sometimes all three measures provide meaigful represetatios of the data. The measures of cetral tedecy ad rage are discussed below: Mea: The arithmetic mea is commoly referred to as average, ad is commoly used to assig studet grades. The mea is the measure of cetral tedecy most affected by outliers; therefore, it is best used whe the rage of values i the set is arrow. To fid the mea, combie all the values i the set ad the evely redistribute them. The algorithm for calculatig the mea is to sum all values i the set, ad divide the combied value by the umber of values i the set. The mea ca also be foud by fidig the cetral balace poit o a umber lie. Example: Give the umbers 3, 4, 6, 3, 3, 9, 7, a) plot the umbers o a umber lie Statistics ad Probability 5
6 b) move the umbers toward the cetre, allowig oe move to the left for every oe move to the right c) cotiue this process util the umbers lie up o oe poit Media: The media is the middle value i a ordered set of data. The media is easy to uderstad ad easy to determie. To fid the media, place all the values i the set, icludig repeated umbers, i umerical order ad select the value i the middle. If there is o sigle middle value, add the two middle umbers together ad divide by two. Because the media is the middle value, half the values i a data set will be greater tha the media ad half the values will be less tha the media. The media represets the 50th percetile. (Note: Formal study of percetiles occurs i Grade 12 Essetial Mathematics.) The media is less affected by outliers; therefore, it is more stable. It is the most appropriate measure of cetral tedecy to represet a set of data cotaiig extreme values. Mode: The mode is the most commoly occurrig item i a set. A set of data may ot have a mode, or it may have oe mode, be bimodal, or have multiple modes. The mode may or may ot idicate the cetre of the data it represets. Geerally, outliers (extreme values at either the high or the low ed of the rage) do ot affect modes. Modes are very ustable, however, ad a small chage i the data ca drastically chage the mode. Because the mode idetifies the most typical item i a set, it is useful for predictig the case i a particular situatio. For example, if the mode for shirts sold is size 10, the buyers for a store ca use the mode to help them decide which sizes to stock i the store s ivetory. Rage: The rage describes a set of data by idetifyig the differece betwee the greatest value ad the least value i a data set. Uderstadig how ad whe to use the differet statistical values gives studets the ability to uderstad ad commuicate about data more clearly, ad to use data wisely to make iformed decisios. Whe plaig for studet learig experieces, choose learig activities that emphasize cocepts ad uderstadig. Have studets gather data for the purpose of aswerig questios. Allowig studets to ask their ow questios ad collect their ow data provides cotexts ad purposes for aalyzig data ad for explorig the differet statistics. Studets may, for example, wish to compare their classmates habits or physical skills, itegrate sciece or social studies cotet, or aswer questios about world coditios or treds. 6 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers

How may pairs of mittes (or shoes, pats) do you ow? How may coutries have you visited? Compare the heights (or heart rates, legths of ames) of boys ad girls i the class. b) Gather the iformatio. c) Display the data i a bar graph. d) Formulate a questio about the populatio of the survey that could be aswered usig the iformatio from the graph. Iclude a aswer key to the questio. 3. Have studets preset ad display their work. These data sets ca be used for subsequet learig experieces. Variatios: Have studets choose a questio ad create bar graphs from data you provide or from the school cesus data available olie. Rather tha havig studets coduct surveys, have them research sources to collect data to aswer specific questios (e.g., temperatures or raifall amouts over a certai period of time, sizes of farms i a regio, the price of a commodity).

Materials: bar graphs from the surveys coducted i the previous learig experiece (Assessig Prior Kowledge) presetatio board math jourals Orgaizatio: Idividual or pairs, whole class Procedure: 1. Remid studets that their surveys ad graphs reveal iterestig iformatio about their peers. 2. Ask studets to use the iformatio i their graphs to create a geeral statemet about a typical or average studet i the class, or grade, or whatever group they surveyed. Examples: How may sibligs does a typical Grade 7 studet have? How may times does the typical Grade 7 studet eat Frech fries i a week? 3. Have studets work idividually or with their parters to determie the best aswer to their questio, explai how they arrived at the aswer, ad explai why the aswer represets a typical studet. 4. Reassemble as a class ad have studets share their questios, aswers, explaatios, ad justificatios. 5. Durig the class discussio, ecourage studets to commet o ad ask questios about their classmates resposes, ad to preset alterative aswers. 6. Itroduce vocabulary related to statistics as topics preset themselves durig the sharig. 7. Record the vocabulary o a presetatio board. Iclude the three measures of cetral tedecy (mea, media, ad mode), the rage, ad outliers (if they are preset). a) If studets choose the most frequet respose to represet the average studet, itroduce mode. b) If they fid the arithmetic mea, or redistribute the items, itroduce mea ad discuss the methods they used to determie the value. c) If they use the middle value, itroduce media ad discuss the methods of fidig the media. Statistics ad Probability 9
10 d) If they discuss the rage of values, itroduce the rage as the differece betwee these values. e) If they metio aomalies such as a very high or very low value, itroduce outliers. 8. Iform studets that i usig oe value to represet a rage of data, they have bee explorig statistical measures of cetral tedecy. Measures of cetral tedecy will be studied i greater detail i the followig learig experieces. 9. Have studets record the ew vocabulary terms ad what they have leared about them i their math jourals. Variatios: Have studets combie the iformatio from several surveys to create a profile of the typical Grade 7 studet. Rather tha usig studet survey data, provide studets with several questios ad sets of data. For example, provide data for several styles of T-shirts, each sellig for a differet price. Ask what would be a fair price for the T-shirts if they all sold for the same price. Or supply data for the amout of moey idividual studets raised for a class trip. Ask how much moey a typical studet raised. Observatio Checklist Liste to ad observe studets resposes to determie whether studets ca do the followig: r Demostrate a uderstadig of mea, media, ad mode for a set of data, ad explai why these values may be the same or differet. r Demostrate a uderstadig of the rage of a set of data. 10 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers
11 Suggestios for Istructio Determie the mea, media, ad mode for a set of data, ad explai why these values may be the same or differet. Determie the rage of a set of data. Materials: BLM 7.SP.1.1: Fidig the Cetre of a Graph ad Comparig the Values bar graphs from the previous learig experiece or supplied data modellig clay, coloured cubes or blocks, ad/or couters grid paper (1 cm) trasparet rulers or grid strips presetatio board math jourals BLM 7.SP.1.2: Explorig Measures of Cetral Tedecy (optioal) Orgaizatio: Idividual or pairs, whole class Procedure: 1. Distribute copies of BLM 7.SP.1.1: Fidig the Cetre of a Graph ad Comparig the Values, ad have studets work idividually or with a parter to complete it. The reassemble as a class ad discuss what studets discovered. 2. Alterately, guide the class through the steps ad have them record their learig i their math jourals. a) Have studets, workig idividually or i pairs, build a cocrete model of their ow graph, or a classmate s graph. Alteratively, supply studets with data ad have them prepare a graph ad a model for the data. Studets may use cubes or blocks, couters, ad/or 1 cm grid paper ad modellig clay. b) Whe studets have completed their graphs, ask them to do the followig: Idetify the rage for the data represeted i their graph, ad record it (subtract the least value from the greatest value). Rearrage the graph to emphasize the rage. Idetify ay outliers or extreme values i the graph. Fid the mode, or most frequet value, represeted i their graph, ad record it. Explai how the graph could be rearraged to emphasize the mode. Fid the media or middle value i their graph, ad record it. Explai how the graph could be rearraged to emphasize the media. c) Ask studets to explore, o their ow or with their parter, how to level the data ad fid its cetre, or balace poit. Emphasize that this is ot the middle value or media. Studets will be rearragig their graphs to emphasize the cetre of the data, or the mea. They record the mea. Statistics ad Probability 11
12 3. Have studets reassemble as a class ad share what they did to level the data, ad discuss ay questios or commets that arise. Strategies for levellig the data could iclude the followig: a) Compress the modellig clay graph, while holdig the sides ad surface firm. b) Rearrage the blocks by takig blocks from the loger bars ad placig them o the smaller bars util they are similar i height. If whole blocks caot be shared evely, it may be ecessary to share fractios of a block. c) Place a ruler perpedicular to the bars of the graph, ad adjust the positio of the ruler util there are a equal umber of blocks above the lie ad below the lie. It may be ecessary to positio the ruler withi a block if the mea is ot a whole umber. 4. Have studets compare their three values, mode, media, ad mea, ad determie whether they each represet the data well, or whether oe value represets the data better tha the others, ad why that may be. 5. Share studets reflectios ad discuss how each value is a measure of cetral tedecy or a way to represet the average value. Whe the data set has a small rage, the average values are similar, ad each represets the graph. Whe there are outliers i the data, or the rage is wide, the averages may be quite differet from each other, ad o average by itself represets the data well. Differet measures are better for differet situatios, ad sometimes more tha oe measure is eeded to represet the data. Variatios: Supply studets with graphs of data that cotrols the value of the averages (i.e., a whole-umber mea if studets are ot prepared to work with decimals or fractios), or cotrol the presece of modes or outliers. Have studets rearrage the values of the bars to create multiple bar graphs that have the same mea. Ask why the differet graphs have the same mea. Have studets explore what effect rearragig the values of the bars of the graphs have o each of the average values. See BLM 7.SP.1.2: Explorig Measures of Cetral Tedecy. Observatio Checklist Liste to ad observe studets resposes to determie whether studets ca do the followig: r Determie the mea, media, ad mode for a set of data, ad explai why these values may be the same or differet. r Determie the rage of a set of data. r Use reasoig ad visualizatio to determie measures of cetral tedecy. 12 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers

Review the three types of averages (mode, media, ad mea), ad how studets foud these values usig graphs. 2. Preset a set of data such as the followig: 3, 4, 6, 3, 3, 9, 7. Ask studets to use a Thik-Pair-Share strategy (thik about the questio idividually, discuss ideas with a parter, ad the share resposes with the class) to do the followig: a) Idetify the rage i the data. b) Idetify ad explai how to determie the mea without makig a graph. c) Idetify ad explai how to determie the media without makig a graph. d) Idetify ad explai how to determie the mode without makig a graph. 3. Itroduce studets to usig a umber lie to fid the cetre of the data. a) Draw a umber lie o the demostratio board from 0 to 10. b) Place a square to represet each value o the correspodig poit of the umber lie. Magets or self-stick otes work well o a chalkboard or whiteboard. (I the data set specified above, there are three umber 3s, so place three squares o 3.) c) The goal is to fid the cetre of all these values. Systematically move the selfstick otes from each ed toward the cetre util all the otes are stacked up o oe poit (e.g., a move of two jumps from the right toward the cetre must be coutered by a move of two jumps from the left toward the cetre). d) For the above data set, the blocks will all lie up o the mea 5.

23 Backgroud Iformatio The purpose of graphs is to display data. Studets come to Grade 7 with experiece i usig lie graphs to display cotiuous data, ad bar graphs, double bar graphs, ad pictographs to display discrete data. I Grade 7, studets are itroduced to circle graphs. Circle graphs are also referred to as pie charts. Circle Graphs (Pie Charts) Various media use circle graphs to display comparative data. The circle graph displays the distributio of data, ot the actual data values. The set of data is grouped ito categories, ad each category is expressed as a percet of the whole set of data. Each sector of the graph represets a part-to-whole ratio. Circle graphs emphasize the relatio betwee a category ad the whole set of data, as well as the relatio betwee differet categories withi the data set. Comparisos withi circle graphs are most clear whe the umber of categories is small ad whe there is a defiite variatio i the size of the categories. Example: Beverage Choice Data Number of Studets Percet Agle Size Juice % 166 Soda 75 23% 83 Milk 68 21% 75 Water 32 10% 36 Totals % 360 This circle graph shows that early half of the studets eatig i the school cafeteria choose juice as a luch beverage, ad that early equal umbers of studets choose milk or soda. Circle graphs may also be used to compare data sets of differet size, as circle graphs compare ratios rather tha defiite quatities. The ratios regardig studets choices of beverage i the example above ca be compared to choices made by studets i other schools or i other regios. The comparisos may be used to aswer questios or to solve problems (e.g., which school to target for a utritio educatio program). Circle graphs are also used effectively to display probability. Statistics ad Probability 23
24 Experiece with circles ad cetral agles (learig outcome 7.SS.1), a uderstadig of decimals, percets, ad fractios, ad the ability to perform calculatios with these values (learig outcomes 7.N.2, 3, 4, 5, ad 7) make it easier for studets to create ad iterpret circle graphs. A uderstadig of roudig is useful whe costructig circle graphs (e.g., if the majority of percets or agle sizes have bee rouded up or dow, adjustmets may be required to esure the sum of percets totals 100%, ad cetral agles represeted i the graph total 360 ). Ways to Create Circle Graphs There are may ways to create circle graphs. Several of these are described below. Each circle graph must have a descriptive title ad must be labelled with the category ames ad correspodig percets, or be accompaied by a leged. The percets represeted by the sectors must total 100%, ad the sum of the cetral agles must equal 360. Make cocrete represetatios. Divide studets ito categories, such as those who have pets, ad those who do ot have pets. Ask studets i each group to stad side by side, equidistat from each other, ad the have the two groups form a circle. Estimate the middle of the circle, ad draw a lie (perhaps usig a skippig rope) from the cetre of the circle to each poit where the two groups meet. Studets could also use tokes to represet the umbers i the two groups. The tokes could be evely spaced aroud a circle whose circumferece has bee divided ito percets, ad a lie could be draw from the cetre to the poits o the circumferece midway betwee adjacet groups. Joi bars from a bar graph. Create a bar to represet the quatity i each group. Colour the bars. The cut out each bar, ad joi the bars ed to ed with tape to create oe log strip. Brig the eds of the strip together to create a circle. Draw a lie from the cetre of the circle to each poit where a ew category begis. Use fractio circles. Choose a fractio circle that matches the umber of pieces of data. For example, if there are 10 marbles i a set, choose a circle divided ito teths. Each teth represets oe marble. If six of the marbles are blue, colour 6 of the circle 10 blue; if three of the marbles are yellow, colour 3 of the circle yellow; ad if the 10 remaiig marble is red, colour 1 of the circle red. 10 Draw lies from the cetre of the circle to the poit o the circumferece where the categories meet. Calculate percets ad use percet circles. 24 Grade 7 Mathematics: Support Documet for Teachers
25 Express the umber i each category as a fractio of the whole set. Covert each fractio to a decimal umber ad the to a percet. Use a circle divided ito 100ths, or ito 20ths, to represet itervals of 5% (see BLM : Percet Circle). Create sectors to represet the percet of each category. Calculate percets ad create cetral agles. Create a chart such as the oe below. Category Quatity Fractio of the Whole Percet of the Whole Percet Times 360 i the Circle Size of the Cetral Agle Draw a circle ad oe radius. Use the radius to measure oe of the cetral agles. Use the subsequet radii to create successive cetral agles.

Iform studets that for this learig activity they will use differet methods to create a graph called a circle graph. The circle graph eables them to divide a group ito differet categories, ad allows them to compare the size of each category to each other ad to the whole group. 2. Secure oe ed of the cords to the cetre of a circle i a ope area. 3. Ask studets to lie up i two categories, such as those who have pets, ad those who do ot. Record the categories ad umbers i each category. 4. Have the lies follow their leader to form a circle aroud the cetre poit. 5. Have oe studet from where the two lies meet go to the cetre of the circle ad brig the ed of oe of the cords back to the circumferece of the circle. Note how the circle has bee divided ito two sectios, those who have pets, ad those who do ot. 6. Talk about which sector is smaller, ad which is larger. Discuss whether most of the studets have pets or whether most do ot. Estimate the percet of the circle represeted by each category. Discuss a descriptive title for the circle graph. 7. Repeat the procedure with other categories (e.g., favourite colours, umber of sibligs, ethic backgrouds). The four cords accommodate four categories. 8. Stop the exercise after sufficiet examples have bee explored, ad review what studets leared about circle graphs. 9. Post the categories ad umbers i each category for each of the graphs formed i Part A. Part B 10. Demostrate creatig a circle graph for oe set of data by colourig grids to represet each category, cuttig the coloured grids ito strips, tapig the strips ed to ed, ad the joiig the eds to form a circle.
