Customer Reviews of Data About Us: Statistics (Connected Mathematics)
This is kind of a boring book... "Data About Us: Statistics" is one of the Connected Mathematics Project units, a set of units designated for grades 6-8. "Data About Us: Statistics" explores 4 different types of graphs- line plots, bar graphs, stem-and-leaf plots, and coordinate graphs, along with the 3 averages- mode, median, and mean. Instead of chapters, the book has investigations, and has 5 of them. Each investigation explores a different concept. In each investigation, there a certain number of sections. Each investigation has up to 5 sections. In each section, there is a problem. The problems are named according to what the investigation and section is. For example, if the problem is in Investigation 1, Section 1.2, the problem is called Problem 1.2. Following each investigation is a lengthy set of ACE (Applications-Connections-Extensions) questions. They are mostly reasoning and critical thinking but also include drawing graphs. At the end of the unit, there is a unit project in which you conduct a survey regarding typical characteristics of a middle schooler, make graphs, analyze the data, and conclude what the typical characteristics are. So, all in all, I would give this text 3 out of 5 stars because some of the questions are quite repetitive and moronic (e.g. How do you find the mean?) and require sentences and sentences of reasoning.
