Math Lesson: Effects of Exercise
Students get an opportunity to understand ratios, fractions, and percentages in the context of data on exercise effects. They get to explore how exercise affects the body, and they study the percentage of people across weight categories. They also generate their own dot plots to study the middle 50% of the distribution, helping them understand what is typical for the group.
