Technology-Connected Lesson Plan

|Title: |Batter Up! |

|Grade Levels: |6th and 7th |

|Curriculum Areas: |CCSS Math |

|Measurable Objectives: |TLW create an informational chart (infographic) which shows the correlation between the batting averages and |

| |salaries of baseball players. |

| |TLW examine the data collected and provide a conclusion based on that data and supported by evidence. |

|Grade Level Expectations: (GLEs) |CCSS 6th Grade Statistics and Probability |

|CCSS |Develop understanding of statistical variability. |

| |1. Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in |

| |the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. |

| |2. Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be |

| |described by its center, spread, and overall shape. |

| |CCSS 7th Grade Statistics and Probability |

| |Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population. |

| |1. Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a |

| |population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations |

| |about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is |

| |representative of that population. Understand that random sampling |

| |tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences |

| |Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. |

| |3. Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical |

| |data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference |

| |between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of |

| |variability. |

|K-12 Educational Technology Standards: |1. Creativity and Innovation Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop |

| |innovative products and processes using technology. |

| |2. Communication and Collaboration Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work |

| |collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of |

| |others. |

|Technology Connection: | Infographic Websites: |

| |Infogr.am ; |

| |Student example: |

| |Easel.ly |

| |Piktochart |

| |PowerPoint is an option for creating the infographic |

| |USA Today Salaries by Team for research |

| |Batting Stats for research |

| |Google Images – blocked for students, but the teacher can use Google Images to get logos and pictures for |

| |students to use in their infographics |

|Assessment: |Completed Infographic |

| |Teacher Observation |

|Procedures: |Students will investigate in order to answer this question: What is the correlation between batting averages |

| |and salaries of baseball players? |

| |Group students and allow groups to choose the baseball players they will research or assign players or teams to|

| |groups. |

| |Groups use the websites provided to research batting averages and salaries of baseball players in 2012. |

| |Groups then design an infographic (informational chart/picture) which explains the research and the data. |

| |The group must state their conclusion and support it with evidence in the infographic. |
