Field Design Lesson Plan

Mathematics 10 & 11: Statistics and Probability (Collecting and Analyzing Information)
English 11: Students will listen, speak, read, write, view and represent to: comprehend literature and other texts
in oral, print, visual and multimedia forms, and respond personally, critically and creatively; manage ideas and
information; to respect, support and collaborate with others.
Overview:
Explain to students that they will be working with students outside of their grade level and
that the project will be interdisciplinary (Math and English as well as art and design later on)
Students will be working in the areas of mathematics and language arts in order to create a
survey that they will then hand out to members of the community in order to gain data to
inform decisions in the creation of the school field.
Students will write multiply drafts of their survey to be given to their teacher to provide
feedback and improve upon.
Once the surveys are complete, students will go out into the community to have members
answer them.
After a sufficient amount of data is collected, students will analyze the data to determine which
features should or shouldnt be included in the creation of the school field.

Mathematics Objectives of the Lesson:
Collect, generate, interpret, examine and maintain data, charts, graphs and other records from the
community, using technology as appropriate
Use probability, chance and predictions when planning and making everyday decisions
Assess the reasonableness of calculators and problem-solving strategies
Communicate mathematically and investigate, collect and examine information
Understand that statistical data can be used to make predictions on aspects of the school field

Learning Outcomes Targeted for Mathematics 10-4

General

Develop and implement a plan for the collection, display and examination of data
and information, using technology and other strategies as required.

Specific

Students will:
1. Predict, interpret, make comparisons and communicate information from graphs,
tables, charts and other sources at home and in the workplace [CN, R]
2. Recognize the uses of data and data collection and display tools in life- and workrelated situations [CN, R]
3. Record information and organize files and directories, using computers and/or other
tools [CN, PS, R, T]
4. Examine a plan for collecting and processing information and modify as appropriate
for everyday situations [CN, PS, R]

Additionally students will:

1.1 Collect primary or secondary data (statistical or informational) related to the topic.
1.2 Assess the accuracy, reliability and relevance of the primary or secondary data collected by:
Identifying examples of bias and points of view
Identifying and describing the data collection methods
Determining if the data is relevant
Determining if the data is consistent with information obtained from other sources on the same
topic.
1.3 Interpret data, using statistical methods if applicable.
1.4 Identify controversial issues, if any, and present multiple sides of the issues with supporting data.
1.5 Organize and present the research project, with or without technology
