We will be working in groups for this game, since if we worked as a class it may take longer to gather all the data from everyone. We are going to be playing a game of Yahtzee and gathering data to see what the statistics of each category is for our class.  We will break up into groups of three to four and will be playing the first three games of the board. After all three games are finished, we will tally up what we all got. Like I got so many 2's, so many 3's, and so forth for each team player. As a group we will write what our statistics were for each team and then as a whole team we will make a dot line plot to see a visual of all the categories statistics. From this dot line plot we will see which category was most popular that the class rolled and which of the categories were least rolled.

We all see statistics everyday and don't even know it. When something is popular it is because statistics said it was. When looking up sports teams, you are most likely going to see the team or teams stats, AKA statistics.
