Title:
GPS/GSE Standard(s):MGSE6.SP.1
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and
accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the
students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.
Individual Education Plan Goal(s) and Benchmarks for the Focus Learner(s):
Learning - Focus Strategies

Essential
Question(s) How can we use stats in our everyday lives?
1-3 BIG ideas! How
can these questions
be used to guide
your instruction?
Central Students will be able to explain the components of a statistical question.

Focus/Lesson
Students will be able to distinguish statistical questions from non statistical.
Objective(s)
Objectives are
measurable and
aligned with the
standard.
Academic Language Academic Language Demand (Identify one of the following: reading, writing,
listening/speaking, or demonstrating/performing. The demand will require more or

attention to goal and audience- the one verb from the standard; ex. demonstrate.)

standard- ex. drama, prose, structural elements, verse, rhythm, meter, characters,

and develop Statistical question, variability, data,
fluency?
Remember to pay particular attention to when planning:
Language Discourse (structures of written or oral language; how participants of the
content area speak, write, and participate.) and Language Syntax (set of conventions
for organizing symbols, words, phrases into structures.)
The students will use the correct academic language when collaborating with others.
Assessment/
Evaluation Assessment Plan for Learning Objectives (Before lesson, formative & summative):
Every standard listed
above must be
assessed and Before lesson- students will answer 2 questions about the differences between two

lesson’s objectives?

demonstrate implemented):
students’ I will exhibit the students’ understanding of the lesson as we complete the activity of
describing if the lesson is statistical or not. This will allow me to be able to give the
understanding/mast students oral feedback. When they complete their formative, I will be able to give
ery of the lesson’s them feedback when they turn in their statistical question. The students will
demonstrate their understanding by being able to create their own statistical
objective(s)? questions.
Materials Paper, pencils
What resources can
be used to engage
students?
Introduction to The students will be introduced to the lesson by having an opportunity to discuss
what kind of question is a better option when creating data. The students will

Activating Thinking important to have variability. The introduction will develop the students’ interest
because the questions are relatable.
How will you
introduce the
lesson? What is the
‘hook’ for the lesson
to tap into prior
knowledge and
develop students’
interests? This
should tie directly
into the lesson’s
objective and
standard.
***Use knowledge
of students’
academic, social,
and cultural
characteristics.
Body of Lesson/ Once the students develop a definition of what a statistical question is, they will be
given many different examples. They will need to distinguish if the question is

standards?
Closure/

they will develop their own statistical question. This will allow the students to prove

standard(s)? How
will you review the
standards and close

Modifications/ Differentiation Category: Why does the student need modifications/accommodations?

Differentiations for
Students’ Individual
Needs
How will you modify
or differentiate the Modification(s)/Accommodation(s):
experiences in your
lesson to meet
students’ individual
needs?
Rationale: Why is this modification/accommodation appropriate?
