PARENT LINKS
Home School Math is a great resource for all parents to reference for ideas and information about particular math concepts. This website contains worksheets, lessons, activities, online games and tutorials. The link below will bring you to the statistic and data analysis section which your students are studying. The downfall to this website is that is outsources many of its links which can bring you to an unsafe website or have advertisements.

ILLUMINATION LESSONS
What Counties Are Your Favorite
Students will do research on their favorite counties (where they live, where they want to live, visit) within a specific state to find the population of each. The students should be direct toward the U.S. Census Data. On the worksheet provided, students should write out the numbers in different forms for practice. After all the data is collected, the student will be required to analyze the data and find the maximum, minimum, mean, mode, and median. This lesson requires students to know how to do research, write numbers in various forms, and interpret data. Parents can assist with this lesson at home by finding particular counties a student may want to do research on.

Class Attributes
This lesson integrates data analysis, statistics, fractions, and a connection to the real world. In the beginning of the lesson, students will be asked to fill out a class survey with 13 questions. The class will be split into groups and each group will collect one questions data from the entire class. Each group will be required to describe the class in fractional parts. Then the groups will display their data in a graph or chart to be able to present to the class. The presentation must also include data analysis including mean, mode, minimum, maximum, and median. This lesson is directed toward a classroom setting with many students but it can be modified for home use. Student can survey their family for data and then create a presentation for the family which may fascinate the student or family members.

State Data
In this lesson, students will create graphs and analyze data based on characteristics of the names of the 50 states. The class will be split into 5 equal groups and each group will be given 10 states. The groups will the count the number of letters in each state name and record their results on a poster in a creative way. Then the groups will be required to find mean, mode, range, and median. If there was enough time I would combine all of the groups' data to find the population's data of all 50 states and as a class find analyze the data. This lesson can be done at the home with the support of the parent. It may be a little much to do all 50 states so parent can instruct student to pick only 10-15 states to study. State Data allows students to investigate and analyze data as a group without using data from the class which may be embarrassing to some.
