Day 5

Plan
Bell Ringer! - calculate the average

Lesson
  1. Finding the average with Excel
  2. Graphing data with Excel
  3. Appropriate choosing of graphs
  4. Exit Ticket
The lesson ended up being downgraded massively when I found out that many of the students did not know what an average is. Rather than try to plow through it, I simplified the lesson made it only about averaging and graphing. Originally, I had planned on going over BMI, BAI, and obesity rates by state. Only the latter was covered. The first class was my guinea pig for the other classes.

Lesson learned: Don't assume even the simplest things.
