Instructional Ideas
- Provide two different dot plots to compare
- Focus more on looking at the shape, center, and spread of the data rather than the construction
Classroom Considerations
- It is not important to know the names of the measures of center at this point
- The lesson is the second in a 22-part unit
Pros
- Provides a general description on how to create a dot plot
- The answer key includes acceptable answers to questions that may have variability
Cons
- None
