Description
From the science of making choices, to the solving power of algorithms, mathematician Lily Serna reveals how the logic of mathematics can help you make better, smarter decisions. In the process, she steps us through some of its most important ideas, showing that far from being stuck on a chalkboard in a lecture hall, it's all incredibly useful.
Description
This clip explores the probability of seeing Australian animals on a wildlife tour and uses relative frequency to describe the chances of seeing particular animals. Collected data is displayed in two-way tables and probabilities of "and/or" events are calculated. This clip introduces and defines important terms like experimental probability, relative frequency, and complement. Ideal for applying mathematical concepts to real-world situations.
Description
This clip investigates how the number of people at the local pool changes over the course of a day. The data is displayed in graphs showing pool patron numbers during each two-hour time period. Follow along as lines and curves of best fit are drawn for the data and used to interpret the data. This clip explores parabolas, coefficient of determination, interpolation, and extrapolation.
Description
In this clip, the results of student surveys are collated into tables and means are calculated. Students are asked to rate a music genre from 1 to 5, and in a separate survey are asked to identify their favorite genre from a given list. This resource explores categorical and numerical data, relative frequency, sample size, variation of means, and column graph interpretation.
Description
It's time to make math sense of our surroundings! We'll start by collecting and organizing information from our daily lives. Students will learn how to interpret this information through visuals like lists, charts, tree diagrams, and graphs. The tour doesn't stop here, though; we'll move on to describing the outcomes based on probability, mean, median, mode, and range. The wold will make much more math sense after these exercises! Topics include:...
Description
This clip investigates statistical data and data displays used in the advertising of a new gym. Follow along to find the inconsistencies in the statistics, graphs, and pie charts and discover more about how the media can sometimes manipulate statistics and displays to support their claims.
Description
In this clip, histograms and boxplots are used to display the results of a study into the number of hours gym members use the gym each week. This clip introduces important terms and concepts including range and median values, upper and lower quartiles, left- and right-skewed data, boxplot whiskers, and symmetrical and asymmetrical data displays.
