Lesson 11
Gone In 30 Seconds
Lesson Narrative
In this optional culminating lesson, students collect, represent, and analyze quantitative bivariate data. Then they group the quantitative data to create two categories, and look for evidence of an association in the resulting categorical data. This lesson allows students the opportunity to carryout the entire process of data analysis beginning with data collections and ending with an analysis of graphical representations to determine whether there is an association between two variables in the data. Students attempt to describe their reaction times by using the various techniques from the unit to model (MP4) their data.
Learning Goals
Teacher Facing
- Compare and contrast (orally) representations of bivariate data, including scatter plots, two-way tables, segmented bar graphs, and relative frequency tables.
- Describe (orally and in writing) associations in bivariate data using different representations of the same data.
Student Facing
Let’s gather and analyze some timing data.

Required Preparation
Students will work in groups of 4. Each group will need one stopwatch.
