Students continue to develop their statistical reasoning in Math 20-2. This statistics
unit contains only two outcomes that encompass six important topics: standard
deviation, normal distribution, z-scores, confidence levels, confidence intervals, and
margin of error. Students are expected to have basic background knowledge in
statistics, and should be comfortable with topics such as measures of central
tendency (mean, median, and mode). This unit will be taught through project-based
learning. Students are invited to scout out five new players for their fantasy major
league basketball team. Data will be provided for ten basketball players. Students
will analyze this data using the new statistical analysis skills that they develop
through classroom activities and mini lessons. A final presentation will include their
mathematical findings, final drafting decision, and predictions about their fantasy
basketball team. This unit project targets Raymond students involvement with,
interest in, and exposure to sports in their daily lives. The goal of this unit is to
solidify mathematical concepts through a role-playing scenario. Students are
required to think critically, problem solve, and debate with their group members.
This assignment encourages collaboration and effective communication as worldly
skills. Alongside this project, students will complete two quizzes and one final unit
exam worth 30% of their grade. The quizzes and exam are delivered to ensure that
concepts learned through the fantasy basketball league project can still be applied
accurately to new situations.
Mathematical Processes:
Communication: Students will communicate their project findings with the class.
Connections: Students will make connections between statistics and other areas of
math (such as representing normal distribution curves on a graph). They will also
connect their mathematical findings to life experiences through the basketball roleplaying scenario.
Problem Solving: Students will deliberate with their group members about which
players to draft. They are encouraged to think critically during the process and
apply other areas of knowledge to their work.
Reasoning: Students are developing their statistical reasoning. This means that
students are able to interpret and apply statistics concepts.
Technology: Students will be consistently exposed to calculator functions during
their learning.
Visualization: Students are encouraged to visualize statistics in action as they work
through their project. Images and graphs will be provided during class.

Fantasy Basketball League

ROLE: You are a scout for a major league basketball team! Each of you
belongs to a group of that seeks to improve their current basketball team. You
are on the hunt for a brand new starting lineup. You have ten players trying
out for your team, but you only have room to draft five new players.
TASK: Use your knowledge of statistics to evaluate ten basketball players
and determine their eligibility to join your team. There are several important
factors that you will need to analyze. Information on each player will be
provided. Data will include height, age, calories consumed per day, hours of
physical activity performed per day, number of baskets scored per game, and
rebounds per game.
BACKGROUND: You will need to use several statistical analysis skills to
evaluate these players. Useful tools will include:
Measures of central tendency and dispersion
Characteristics of normal distribution
Confidence intervals and levels
Margin of error
PRODUCTS: In order to make a reliable decision about which players you are
going to draft, your team coach requires you to present him with the
following documents:
1. Player profiles for each player that you meet.
2. A rationale of your decision to draft the five players you have selected.
You will also be required to make a presentation to the public about how the
new additions to your team will benefit your team performance. Good luck!

Brief Description
While students are working on examples, their project, or
participating in activities, circulate the room and take note of
student performance. Take note of patterns occurring in student
behaviour. Checklists may be used to document participation,
focus, teamwork, progress, etc. These observations and notes
can be used to initiate individual or group conversations about
student performance. These notes and checklists can also serve
as a cue for me to intervene if negative student behaviours are
reoccurring.
A problem of the day will be used as an entrance slip to class
when new topics are being introduced. Students will be asked to
complete a task or problem that will bridge into the lesson of
the day. This formative assessment will be completed by
participation. Each student will receive a slip of paper. They will
write their name and one thing that their group did to solve the
problem. I will collect these papers and review, to make sure that
each student was participating and engaged. It will also help for
me to see if students were on the right track with their thinking, if
I did not have enough time during my circulation to get to them.
Conversation and discussion may take place at the end of each
problem of the day.
Students will complete a quiz at the end of each week as a
check-in with the teacher on how they can apply their learning.
Quizzes will be one half-hour in length. Quiz 1 will primarily focus
on SLO 1 and quiz 2 will primarily focus on SLO 2. Each student is
expected to complete a quiz, as well as a self-assessment survey.
For each question, students will select one of the following: I
knew it, I think I knew it, I wasnt sure, I didnt know. No marks

There will be 10 fictional basketball players posted on the walls of


the classroom with data relating to scoring records, height, eating
habits, etc. Students are expected to apply their new statistical
analysis skills to data collections of their choosing for each of the
10 players. Check in each week to ensure groups are working on
forming statistical player profiles in a timely manner. These
player profiles will be used to help groups to draft their final
team. A template will be provided, but it is not mandatory to use
it. Profiles are will be handed in by the end of week one. Students
are expected to hand in their own package of player profiles.
Groups are encouraged to work together to develop these
profiles, but each individual must hand in their own assignment.
Once player profiles are completed, students are asked to draft a
fantasy basketball team using the profiles. Once group members
have come to consensus on the five players belonging to their
fantasy basketball team, students will write a rationale on why
they chose each player. Rationales will be marked on
mathematical content and reasoning. A rubric will be provided.
Both the rationale and the presentation to the class about the
chosen players will be marked as a group. This presentation will
also be marked on mathematical content. A separate rubric will
be provided for the presentation. The rationale will be worth 20%
of the final grade for this unit, and the presentation will be worth
10%. Students will be provided with a self-assessment page to
reflect on their ability to work in a group, as well as grasp
mathematical concepts for this unit.

Post problem of the day question on the Smart Board.


What is the average height of students in Math
20-2?
Students will be provided with basic rulers and
whiteboards to work on. Teacher involvement must be
constructive (do not guide students to the answer!).
What was the average height of students in your class?
Do you all agree with this answer?
How did you solve the problem? Could you have solved
this problem another way?
What topic in statistics does this problem relate to?
Measure of central tendency: mean (average)
What are the other measures of central
tendency?
What is the range of heights in this class?
Body

Mini Lesson

Background:
Mean: mean of population denoted by ; calculated by
adding all data values, then dividing by the number of
values
Median: determined by sorting into numerical order;
median is middle value (if even, the average of the
middle values)
Mode: data value that occurs the most
Range: highest data value minus lowest data value
Smart Board Presentation:
Example: The number of minutes it takes for a high
school student to drive to school each day are listed
below. Find the mean, median, mode, and range of the
data.
11, 10, 19, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 17, 15
Mean: (11 + 10 + 19 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 17 +
15)/10 = 14.2 min
Median: 14.5
Mode: 15 min
Range: 9
Why do you think the range is so high in this example?

Time

Background:
Standard deviation: measure od dispersion; describes
the variation (or spread) of between the data values and
the mean of the data

= ((x-)2/n)

Low standard deviation = data values are close to


the mean, thus data values are more consistent
High standard deviation = data values are
scattered further from the mean, thus data
values are less consistent
Why would this consistency matter to us?
Smart Board Presentation:
Example: Heights of the Cobras basketball team are
given below:
170, 182, 193, 193, 112
Calculate the standard deviation.

(Discussion)

Hand-up, Stand-up, Pair-up Instructions:


Think about the Problem of the day for 5 minutes. Then
you will stand up and pair up with a classmate and
discuss what you noticed about the given graphs. When
you are finished wit that partner, put your hand up and
then find a new partner who also has their hand up. We
will switch partners 3 times. We will then come together
as a class and discuss the problem.
What did you notice about the graphs? Did you get
some new ideas from your classmates? Record thoughts
on the whiteboard.
What did these two graphs have in common? What
made them different?
Their shape was similar
What could the shape of the graph tell us about the
data?
Would you describe the shape of these graphs as a
bell?

Mini Lesson

Background:
Normal distribution: data which results in a frequency
polygon with a bell shaped curve
Elements of normal distribution curve: mean of the data
(center of curve), standard deviations from the mean,
percentage of data that falls between each standard
deviation
Smart Board Presentation:
Discussion on shape of graphs: Am I a Bell Curve?
Show image of a graph students decide if it is a
bell curve
Histogram example - light bulbs.

What percentage falls between one standard deviation


from the mean? Why do you think that is the case?
If we double the standard deviation value, what does
the normal distribution curve look like? Do you still think
68% of fall between one standard deviation of the
mean? Why?
Teacher Notes
Student-Directed
Practice (Project
Work)

Students begin their first round of statistical analysis on


the 10 basketball players in the room. Skills that
students should be applying to data provided:
representing data as a normal distribution curve.
Students are to make inferences about how players will
perform in games based on the player analysis. Sets of
data include height, weight, baskets scored per game,
rebounds per game, calories consumed per day, and
hours of physical training per day.

Feedback

Can one person please draw a normal distribution curve


on the whiteboard? Can someone label where the mean
should be? One standard deviation from the mean? Two
standard deviations from the mean?
Make a comment about student performance during
Problem of the Day activities.
