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:

options: Interpret linear models.

Summarize and describe distributions.

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

Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.

Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.

Investigate patterns of association in bivariate data.

Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data.

Understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments.

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.

Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions.

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

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

Develop understanding of statistical variability.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is to reinforce the distinction between statistical and non-statistical questions. Students write a statistical question and articulate why it qualifies as statistical. Students’ explanations should focus on the variability in the data used to answer the question. The context will be used again in the next activity, so this also gets students familiar with the object.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 3–4. Give students 1 minute of quiet work time. Then, tell students to share their question and reasoning within their group. Tell the groups to decide if each question is statistical or non-statistical. If the group disagrees, discuss the question further and revise it until an agreement is reached.
Student Facing
Clare collects bottle caps and keeps them in plastic containers.
[IMG]
Write one statistical question that someone could ask Clare about her collection. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
The purpose of the discussion is to ensure students are comfortable constructing statistical and non-statistical questions.
Ask students to share their statistical questions and reasoning. If possible, ask students to refer back to the image as they share. Record and display their responses for all to see.
To involve more students in the conversation, consider asking some of the following questions:
“Were there any questions your group had in common?”
“Were there any questions your group could not agree were statistical? Why?”
“Were there any questions your group decided were non-statistical? What made that question non-statistical?”
