Description: This session will show teachers the power of collaboration through a multidisciplinary approach. The session will be to share a sixth grade statistics lesson where students had to collect and analyze numerical data. Students graphed their results which yielded predictable and unpredictable data. To understand the meaning behind the numerical data, the English teacher had students collect additional written data through a survey in a focus group. Students graphed their results of their survey and wrote a new analysis explaining why the original data was difficult to predict. The session will have teachers go through the lesson and share strategies about creating a multidisciplinary lesson using Common Core State Standards.
Take-Aways: Participants will get a copy of the math lesson and handouts.
