Exploring Illustrative Mathematics Grade 6 Unit 8 Lesson 17

The video tutorial by Matt covers the use of box plots in data analysis. It begins with an introduction to box plots using a sleep study example, followed by an info gap activity to encourage student interaction. The tutorial then uses paper plane data to create and analyze box plots, highlighting concepts like quartiles and interquartile range (IQR). The session concludes with a summary and homework instructions, and further analysis of sports heights and emergency response times using box plots. The final section discusses pineapple weights and TV show viewer ages, emphasizing data variability.
