Creating Dot plot Lesson
During our statistics unit, one lesson was over how to display numerical data on a dot plot. To begin this lesson, I went over with the students the steps to creating a dot plot. Then as a class, we collected data on the heights of the students in our class. Students then took the data we collected as a class and put it into a dot plot to graphically display the data. As a Result, The students had a real world connection to the graph and were better able to Complete the individual examples on their own. |
