Brief Summary of Unit

 * Many students in today’s school systems have a strong disdain for mathematics. This is probably caused in large part of its seemingly dry nature of right and wrong answers, causing a lack of creativity within the field, and also by the lack of teachers’ ability to establish a lasting connection to the day to day real world. This unit is designed to engage students through creative type 2 uses of everyday scenarios. Data, frequency, and probability are all used every day in and out of school. Stock markets, statistics, advertising, driving, and whether reports are all examples of day to day use of data analysis. In this unit we will learn how to effectively calculate probability and frequency to relate it to our everyday lives. **
