Narrative
The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
B. Represent and interpret data.
C. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
D. Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures.
E. Describe and compare measurable attributes.
F. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.
G. Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
H. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.
I. Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.
J. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
K. Tell and write time.
L. Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
M. Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.
N. Work with time and money.
O. Relate addition and subtraction to length.


Your response:
Thought: In this problem, students work with money in the form of coins.

Develop understanding of statistical variability.

Use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events in a uniform probability model.

Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

Interpret linear models.

Summarize, represent, and interpret data on two categorical and quantitative variables.

Understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments.

Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions.

Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.

Make inferences and justify conclusions from sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies.

Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.

Summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.

Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.

Calculate expected values and use them to solve problems.

Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data.
problem_activity: Activity
A scatter plot is shown and the points interpreted in context. Later, a linear model is graphed with the scatter plot to help students see an obvious outlier (MP7). In the discussion, the term outlier is introduced.

Ask students, “What do you notice? What do you wonder?” Ideally, they will notice that these are pictures of a foot of three different people. All three feet are approximately the same length but different widths. Tell students that all of these feet are a size 8. However, they wouldn’t all necessarily find the same shoe equally comfortably, because of the varying widths. (Besides the numerical size, some shoes also come in different widths.) Students should understand that human feet can vary in both length and width.
If using the digital activity, after this discussion, clarify for students that a scatter plot has been created for them to anaylze feet dimensions, using technology. Students can then work to complete the digital task which includes using a line of best fit to identify outliers.

Use this routine to clarify the meaning of “width” and “length” in the context of the task. Connect the terms width and length multi-modally by utilizing different types of sensory inputs, such as demonstrating the width and length on the images of each foot using gestures or inviting students to do so. Invite students to chorally repeat phrases that include these words in context. This will help students produce and make sense of the language needed to understand the context of the task.
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making

Here is a scatter plot that shows lengths and widths of 20 different left feet. Use the double arrows to show or hide the expressions list.
Estimate the widths of the longest foot and the shortest foot.
Estimate the lengths of the widest foot and the narrowest foot.
Click on the gray circle next to the words “The Line” in the expressions list. The graph of a linear model should appear. Find the data point that seems weird when compared to the model. What length and width does that point represent?

Activity Synthesis
Introduce the term
outlier
. An outlier is a point that is separated from the rest of the data. Sometimes data sets have outliers. Sometimes that’s because there really is a data point that is very different than the others. Sometimes it is because there was an error in collecting the data. Sometimes it is because there was an error in entering the data. When there are outliers, one has to make a judgement about whether to include it in the analysis or not.
