*NOTE: This file has been organized for double-sided printing. Any blank pages were left so intentionally to make printing easy.
Ideas for Implementation: This bundle has all of the notes, homework, quizzes, and tests to make your life easier and help your students to be successful with statistical concepts. A sample pacing guide is included for those of you who do not have a district scope and sequence or if it is very general. Additionally, an answer key is included.
If you notice any discrepancies in the documents or have any questions, please email me at: [email protected].
STANDARDS
7.SP.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.
7.SP.2 Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions
7.SP.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
7.SP.4 Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations

HELPFUL HINTS
A few ideas for organizing your curriculum and keeping things nice and neat:
Keep each unit in a separate binder and use the spine labels and covers to keep them looking nice and easy to find. I personally love 1.5” binders.
©Maneuvering the Middle LLC, 2016
Student Handouts
BINDERS
I place my originals in page protectors in chronological order. Any extra copies from that lesson, I hole punch and place behind that page. When I need an extra or a student is missing something from weeeeeeeeks ago, I can simply pull out a copy.
PAGE PROTECTORS
I highlight the edges of my answer keys or if I am really good, print them on colored paper. It helps them to stand out and makes them easy to find on my desk, in a binder, by the document camera, etc. Plus, highlighter doesn’t show up if you make a copy.
ANSWER KEYS
Card stock in a page protector makes an awesome divider. When I set up my dividers, I include one for handouts, activities, assessments, and answer keys. Binder covers and spine labels have been included. J

Happy Teaching!
