Title of lesson: Intro to statistics and probability

Description of lesson: This lesson is the introduction to out unit. Many students know how to read graphs, but struggle with interpreting them and making predictions. First, I will explain the vocabulary, and then explain the different graphs we will use.

Assignment: After my lecture about ways to collect data and ways to present it, I will have the students form small groups and brainstorm different scenarios that would best fit the three types of graphs.

Resources/materials needed: Students need the learning aid, pen, paper, and optional computer if they want to watch the youtube video for review. 

Technology reflection: This technology is nice because it is tailored specifically to my lesson plan and it looks good. However, the one feature that makes it particularly useful is the youtube link. It is nice to use it at the beginning of a lesson because it is review and students can access it if they need extra help, especially if they are at home.

Evaluation: This is more of a review and introduction, so I should really focus on assessing where the students are currently. Observing the group work should allow me to see how well students understand the purpose of presenting data as graphs.
