Description:
Data Analysis and Statistics with Cuisenaire Rods:
Activities 1, 3, and 4, Comparing Handfuls, From Rods to Pyramids,
and Designing Sculptures, introduce and reinforce some basic statistical
concepts. For example, Comparing Handfuls on page 8 introduces students
to allying data and reinforces representing data on a table and then on
a bar graph.
From Rods to Pyramids on page 24 has students make more sophisticated
graphs. They use the range and measures of median and mode to analyze
the data. Two different graphical representations, the stem and leaf
plot and histograms, are introduced in Designing Sculptures.
Probability with Cuisenaire Rods:
Activates 2, 5, and 6, Rod Probability, Cover Your Bases, and Last
Rod Wins, introduce and reinforce some basic probability concepts as
students make strategic decisions based on their understanding of the
probability of particular outcomes when using dice and spinners.
In Rod Probability on page 16, students are introduced to tree diagrams
as a method for computing simple compound events. In Cover Your Bases on
page 36 and Last Rod Wins on page 42, concepts of fractions get
reinforced as students create and test conjectures by playing a strategy
game.

strategies and the reproducible resources you'll need to present major
