State Standards
Identify the state standards used in your clinical setting.

State Standard # Standard

IN 6.NS.10 Use reasoning involving rates and ratios to model real-world and other mathematical
problems (e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double
number line diagrams, or equations).

IN 6.DS.2 Select, create, and interpret graphical representations of numerical data, including line
plots, histograms, and box plots.

Essential Questions
Essential Questions can be open-ended, thought-provoking, call for higher-order thinking, require support and justification,
raise additional questions, and be revisited again.
Standard # Essential Question

6.NS.10 How are rates and ratios used to model real-world problems?

6.DS.2 How can numerical data be used in relation to LGBTQ+ rights?

Observable Learning Outcomes

performance level?

As evidenced by…
☐ Criterion-referenced

Learning Activity 1:

What are students doing?

Have students get into groups of 2 or 3 and work on an activity sheet that has questions about different
formats of statistics and what the data means.

Why is it important?
This allows the students to think about the
real world as well as communicate with
other classmates to get their opinion on
these topics
Once getting into groups the students will look over the
different types of statistics (box plots, histograms, pie
charts, etc) and determine what type of graph it is and
what the data represents and shows.
The group will write down their answers on the activity
sheet. Students will be allowed to look up different
issues or articles relating to the statistics for class
discussion to go deeper into the discussion once they
finish their activity sheet.

Learning Activity 2:
What are students doing?
Discussing with the class altogether over the statistics.
Why is it important?
This allows the students to come together
and learn about the statistics and facts
together, as well as allow more of a safe
place to be created as they go over such
serious topics.
Discussion will be: Each group of students discussing one
of the statistics they addressed and then having a
conversation about it.
What is the main idea of the statistic?
Explain what you think the data means.
Where do you see increase/decrease of numbers?
How does the data relate to issues you may have seen on
the news?
As a class with the statistics and research on the
computer, we will talk about how these statistics are
relevant to today through conversation with their groups
and with the class.
