MASSI: Data Analysis Part 2 Alicia Saunders, M.A.

Composition of a MASSI Real-life Application Build Essential Understanding Grade-Aligned Skills Final Tips

Topic: Data Analysis Elementary- Reading a table and filling in a bar graph; collecting data and organizing it in a bar graph; creating a line graph – Application: Analyze data on how students get to school Middle- Find mean, median, mode, and range when given a data set; analyze a bar graph to make comparative inferences; analyze a table with bivariate data to select an appropriate claim about the data – Application: Analyze data on a class president election High- Use descriptive statistics to describe a data set (range, mean/average, median, mode, outliers/gaps) – Application: Analyze data on weather patterns

Real-life Activity Elementary: How do students get to school? Middle: Class President High School: Weather patterns

Essential Understanding 3-5 Identifying, sorting, and counting data Identifying the x- and y-axis Creating a picture graph 6-8 Identifying highest and lowest values in a data set Matching sources of data Analyzing a bar graph for greater/less/equal values HS Identifying outliers of a data set on a scatterplot Reading a table (finding data by category)

Identifying and Sorting Data

Counting data Identifying x-axis and y-axis

Decision Making Example

Curriculum Resource Guide

Adapting for Unique Needs in the Equations MASSI

Inclusion Collaborate with general education mathematics teachers for more ideas Incorporate peers without disabilities when possible Implement in general education mathematics setting

Final Tips Use real-life materials to make the lessons meaningful and fun May need to make additional adaptations Be sure to identify how student will respond; program responses into their AT Have everything ready so can teach at a brisk pace Teach to a stop sign until get progress; then move on; remember skills repeat in next section Move to a new MASSI after 3-4 weeks for students to cover enough standards to do well on the alternate assessment
