Students will understand that the data collected (as a set) will answer a statistical question. This data has a distribution and can be described in three parts: center, spread, and overall shape.

This assessment can be used appropriately in any subject and can even be integrated between different disciplines. To ensure that it will be used appropriately, teachers should create their own content specific cards to stay focused on the exact results the teacher wants the student to learn from the lesson and unit.
An inappropriate way to apply this assessment is if a student was given too many cards or not enough cards, a student may feel confused and overwhelmed.

Every student will be polled on the average amount of time they spend on their homework each week night in minutes. We estimate that the majority of students will be in the same middle range and that there will be some outliers at the start and end of the bell curve.
We estimate the results will look similar to this:

Mode (center) is the number in the set that appears most frequently, or is the most popular in the data collected. There can be more than one mode. However, if every number in the set repeats the same amount of times, there will be no mode for that data set.

Spread in data is the extent to which the distribution is stretched or squeezed. This will be demonstrated by a graph, such as a bell curve.

Each graph will have a different shape that represents the distribution of the values collected from the data. A common shape is a bell curve. In this shape, the middle indicates the maximum probability and the ends represent the minimum values.

The mean is the average of the data points.  We can figure this out by adding up all of the data points and then dividing by how many numbers there are.

The median is the middle value in an arranged list of numbers or from the data set. The median is found by arranging the numbers from least to greatest. If there are two “middle” numbers, find the average (mean) between the two.

A bell curve is a symmetrical curve sloping downward from the middle. The middle corresponds to the mean of the data, the most probable option.

This assessment will allow students to create their own "web" with the vocabulary words and pictures that are provided. They will also be given popsicle sticks to show their connections and their thinking in creating the web. This assessment gives the teacher an idea of what connections the students are able to make at the conclusion of the activity.  The students will be given one blank card to put at the center of the web as their idea of what the central focus is.

After participating in a hands on and minds on mathematics activity involving data on homework time spent per night, students who demonstrate an understanding of the concept card mapping assessment will be able to analyze and answer questions regarding statistical vocabulary and demonstrate their knowledge by creating their own concept card map.
