The basic idea of this task is for students to demonstrate that they know what it means for two variables to be associated.
This task allows students to think about and discuss sampling methods.
In this task students design a plan to conduct a random sample of the students in their school to estimate the proportion of students who think their parents are strict.
This lesson is for a math classroom, but can be adapted to fit any grade, subject, or content. In this lesson, students will use an iPad and its features: Keynote, Pages, Garageband, Numbers, Presentation, and iMovie. Students will use 3 of those features/programs to create a video lesson consisting of several examples from a topic of their choice. This project is in place of a term final, so their chosen topic should be from their current term.Image citation: The image is one I created.
Thumbnail photo: "File:Nuvola Math and Inf.svg" by Vojtěch Pikal is marked with CC0 1.0 This is a lesson plan that can be used in any class and for any subject. The idea is to have the students review the content learned over the term, pick one of the concepts, and create a mini video lesson on the chosen concept. This is a project in place of a term final, but can be used at any time!I have tagged only a few math standards because this lesson applies to all content and all standards.
This exercise demonstrates that judgment (non-random) samples tend to be biased in the sense that they produce samples that are not balanced with respect to the population characteristics of interest.
