WHAT IS IT?

The three activities included here are:

1. A teacher training module for teachers just learning how to use Fathom™ software (Teacher Training Module, contact Joe Gonzales)
2. An activity studying the ratios between different body measurements (Body Measurements, contact Aaron Orzech)
3. An activity studying the ratios between different head and face measurements, which could be used to extend the concepts in Body Measurements, as a standalone activity, or in conjunction with an art class (Perfect Face, contact Todd Smallcanyon)

GRADE LEVEL
This could be used with an advanced Algebra 1 class, or for a pre-AP Statistics class. Concepts used include ratios, measures of central tendency, percentiles and least-squares regression. Topics alluded to but not explicitly discussed include the Normal distribution and sampling methods.

STRAND
Statistics

MATERIALS
Rulers or tape measures (or calipers of various sizes if available), copies of student worksheets and student instructions, computers equipped with Fathom™ software.

• Collect a small sample of data, and consider its relationship to data about a larger population.
• Use percentiles, measures of central tendency, and other methods to examine relationships and distributions in a data set.
• Use appropriate statistical tools and vocabulary to examine the question of what is typical, and to make comparisons between items in a data set.
