Module 6

This course is a part of 6th grade (Eureka Math/EngageNY), a 6-course Topic series from Khan Academy.

"In Module 6, students develop an understanding of statistical variability and apply that understanding as they summarize, describe, and display distributions. In particular, careful attention is given to measures of center and variability." Eureka Math/EngageNY (c) 2015 GreatMinds.org

This course contains 4 segments:

Topic A: Understanding distributions

Topic A includes lessons 1-5 and covers posing statistical questions, displaying a data distribution, creating a dot plot, creating a histogram, and describing a distribution displayed in a histogram.

Topic B: Summarizing a distribution that is approximately symmetric using the mean and mean absolute deviation

Topic B includes lessons 6-11 and covers describing the center of a distribution using the mean, the mean as a balance point, variability in a data distribution, the mean absolute deviation (MAD), and describing distributions using the mean and MAD.

Topic C: Summarizing a distribution that is skewed using the median and the interquartile range

Topic C includes lessons 12-16 and covers describing the center of a distribution using the median, describing variability using the interquartile range (IQR), summarizing a distribution using a box plot, more practice with box plots, and understanding box plots.

Topic D: Summarizing and describing distributions

Topic D includes lessons 17-22 and covers developing a statistical project, connecting graphical representations and numerical summaries, comparing data distributions, describing center, variability, and shape of a data distribution from a graphical representation, summarizing a data distribution by describing center, variability, and shape, and presenting a summary of a statistical project.
