I thought it was extremely interesting to see how you introduced z-scores to your students. By being able to interpret the meaning of z-scores, your students were able to get a better grasp on the concept. Then, the application of real world situations made it easier to understand. Great activity! I hope in the future, I can create a similar learning environment for my students by applying the ideas you discussed above.

One thing that has helped is making my students practice interpreting z-scores as the number of standard deviations above or below the mean. It really reinforces what the standard deviation is (although if they struggled with that it could make z-scores feel more difficult). It really comes in handy when we get to inference topics to have that practice. I am going to be spiraling back to z-scores in each unit, as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653050867146276494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-50897391854491156462015-11-09T12:58:34.840-06:002015-11-09T12:58:34.840-06:00Thanks for reading my blog, Rochelle!

Either create a need for what the topic can deliver, or at least define a new object and then find lots of examples and debrief with the class. Great activity!

This is a great resource that will greatly improve students' understanding of the z values. All of my students have graphics calculators so z-values have been an after thought - until a question turned up in the exam last year. Thank you for sharing so openly.
