Vermont Standards

VT.6.RP.A.3: Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
VT.7.RP.A.3: Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems.
VT.7.SP.A.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.

Computer for each student (or pair), with access to the internet
All students should log into the Desmos activity

🔗About this lesson

Happy Hour of Code Week! Let’s dig into some data and get your students programming! (Don’t worry - even if you and your students have no prior experience with code, this lesson is entirely accessible. All of the relevant code is provided for you in our Pyret programming environment. And most parts of the lesson come with a ★ Coding Challenge for students ready to dig in.)

There are ten parts of the lesson in total - but feel free to pick and choose the pieces that feel most relevant for you and your students…or start at the beginning and stop when you run out of class time! Each part of the activity should take under ten minutes, unless your students get very excited talking about this data. (How could you blame them?)

We are confident that students of all ages will enjoy dissecting this intriguing dataset as they dip their toes into a new programming language. Please note, however, that students in middle school will likely need guidance and support in working through the activity, whereas students in high school will likely be able complete the slides relatively independently.

Part 9 Data-Informed Decision Making
Part 10 Beyond the dataset - Making Connections - What else might we want to know?

A note from Bootstrap

It seems like every week there’s another Data Science curriculum announced. Some are coding classes that sprinkle in a little math, and others are math classes that tack on a little coding. At Bootstrap, we create balanced curricula that blend these ingredients seamlessly so they support and reinforce one another!
