1 Rigorous Curriculum Design Authentic Performance Tasks 1 of 14 Subject Grade/Course Unit of Study Duration of Unit Math 8 th Grade/ Math Unit 6 Scatter plots and statistics 3-4 Weeks Engaging Scenario Directions: Incorporate the five elements of effective scenarios: current situation; student challenge; student role; intended audience; product or performance. S Comparing Movie Opening Weekend amount to total movie lifetime gross. C Create a Scatter Plot of recent opening movies R You are a movie critic and analyze total gross on opening weekends. A You need to inform an evaluation panel P Scatter Plot presentation You are a movie critic. You have a 5 minute segment to present on the Today Show on movie opening weekend gross income to measure the monies eventual success. You will need t from o investigate and gather data to describe the gross amount movies have earned on opening weekend and gross amount they earned since they came out. You will construct your findings in a scatter plot form. Priority Standards or Learning Outcomes 8.SP.1 - Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negatives association, linear association, and nonlinear association.

2 2 of 14 Supporting Standards or Supporting Outcomes Statistics and Probability 8.SP.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line. 8.SP.3 Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bi-variate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height. 8.SP.4 4. Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bi-variate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores? Expressions and Equations 8.EE.5 Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distancetime equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed. 8.EE.6 Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b. 3 8.EE.7.b Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

5 5 of 14 A: How will the students apply the concepts and skills? What will they do and/or produce? Students will investigate and gather data to interpret and describe the total gross amount movies have earned on opening weekends, and final gross amount. Students will complete a table, and construct a scatter plot with their findings. R: What resources, instruction, and information will students need in order to complete the task? Students will need to have instruction to introduce the task and preview what is expected of them. Students will need access to a computer in order to research the different movies. E: What evidence of learning will I look for to show that I know all of my students have conceptually learned the concepts and skills the standard(s)? Students will create a finished product listing their movie findings in scatter plot form. The evidence of learning will be the finished product and correctly answered follow up questions. D: How can I differentiate the application and/or evidence to meet the varying needs of my students? Research will be available in simplified form in order accommodate all learning needs. Students will be strategically grouped, with different amounts of teacher instruction provided to each group, depending on student learning needs. Also, follow up questions will be leveled in order to accommodate struggling learners, while also providing additional challenge for advanced learners. Task 1 Full Description: In opening weekends, a movie s opening gross income is often quoted as a way of measuring the movie s eventual success. Can you predict a movie s total gross income from its opening weekend count? In this lesson students will investigate if there is a pattern between the opening weekend data and the final gross total income of the movie. Students will construct graphs and tables in order to interpret predictions and patterns on opening weekend and final gross total income. Students will also answer follow-up questions to further their understanding and make predictions. Here s data on 14 movies that you might have seen. I ve included the gross amount that they earned on their opening weekend and the gross amount that they have earned since they came out. I also included The Avengers and Wreck-It Ralph, but did not give its long-term gross income.

Task 2 Full Description: Movie critics can influence the public on spending their money on certain movies. Trends can also guide a producer s decision in which genre of movies they want to invest their money on and produce. Which movie would you give 2 thumbs up to? Do you watch movies based on what the expert say about it? Now is your chance to see if you believe the trend. You will have to construct and interpret a trend line to describe the amount of money a movie will gross for any opening weekend total. Finally, you will need to answer follow-up questions about the data you have gathered and make predictions, and estimations based on the trend line. Use your scatter plot from task 1 to answer the following questions. 1. Draw a line of best fit on your graph. Describe below how you decided where to draw the line. 2. Now, using the line of best fit, make new predictions for The Avengers and Wreck It Ralph. Collect the actual data from the website. Which prediction was more accurate, the prediction from the correlation or using the line of best fit?.

11 11 of Based on the data how much would you expect movies to make in gross that had opening weekends of $60 million, $80 million, $100 million, and $180 million? How did you determine your estimates? $60 $80 $100 $ Using your predictions from #3, construct a new scatterplot. (Make sure you label EVERYTHING!!) The movie, Man of Steel, grossed $116,619,362 during its Opening Weekend. Using this scatterplot, make a prediction for the Lifetime Gross for this movie. Explain the method used to make the prediction. 5. Now go back and check the actual data for Man of Steel. You can get this data from the Internet website Describe how close your prediction was to the actual lifetime gross. Did it follow the association, or would it be considered an outlier?
