Objectives (5-7 minutes)

1. Data Understanding: The main objective is for students to be able to understand what data is and its importance in different contexts. This includes the ability to identify and collect relevant data, as well as understand the difference between qualitative and quantitative data.

2. Data Interpretation: Students should be able to interpret and analyze data that they collect, identifying patterns, trends, and outliers. This includes applying different interpretation methods such as creating tables, charts, and diagrams.

3. Data-Driven Decision Making: Finally, students should be able to use their data interpretation to make informed decisions. This involves being able to evaluate different options based on available data and choosing the best option.

Secondary Objectives:

• Development of Critical Thinking Skills: Through data interpretation, students should develop their critical thinking skills by learning how to question, analyze, and evaluate information objectively.

• Improvement of Problem Solving Skills: Data interpretation involves problem-solving as students must identify and find solutions to questions presented by data. Therefore, students should also improve their problem-solving skills throughout the lesson.

Introduction (10-15 minutes)

1. Review of Prior Knowledge: The teacher will begin the lesson by recalling the concepts of basic statistics that were previously studied, such as mean, median, and mode. These concepts are fundamental for data interpretation, and it is therefore important that students have a strong understanding of them.

2. Problem Situations: To arouse students' interest, the teacher will present two problem situations that involve data interpretation. For example, one situation could be analyzing a store's sales data to identify the best-selling product and the busiest period. Another situation could be interpreting weather data to predict the weather for the upcoming days. These situations will contextualize the importance of data interpretation and how it can be applied in real-world situations.

3. Contextualization: The teacher will contextualize the importance of data interpretation, showing examples of how it is used in various fields such as medicine, finance, sports, and others. For instance, in medicine, data interpretation can be used to identify disease patterns in a population and develop prevention strategies. In finance, data interpretation can be used to analyze a company's performance and make investment decisions.

4. Introduction of the Topic: Finally, the teacher will introduce the topic of the lesson - Data Interpretation - explaining that students will learn to collect, organize, interpret, and make decisions based on data. The teacher will also mention that students will have the opportunity to apply these concepts in practical activities throughout the lesson, which will help reinforce learning.

Development (20-25 minutes)

1. Activity "Data in Play" (10-12 minutes):

• Description: The teacher will divide the class into groups of 4-5 students. Each group will receive a box with board games that involve collecting data, such as dice games, card games, etc. Each group will also receive a set of differently colored chips.

• Development: The students will be instructed to play the game for a certain amount of time (e.g., 10 minutes). During the game, they will have to collect data, such as the number of times each color chip appears, the number of times a certain outcome happens, etc. At the end of the given time, students will organize the data they collected into a table and create a graph to represent it.

• Objective: The goal of this activity is to allow students to see data interpretation in action, in a fun and engaging way. They will also have the opportunity to discuss and analyze the data they collected in their groups, promoting collaboration and communication.

2. Activity "Real-World Data Interpretation" (10-12 minutes):

• Description: In this activity, the teacher will present the class with a real-world data set, such as sales data from a store, demographic data from a city, weather data, etc. The teacher can use either real data from reliable sources or create a fictional data set for the activity.

• Development: Students, in their groups, will be tasked with analyzing and interpreting the data. They will have to identify patterns, trends, and outliers in the data, and brainstorm possible explanations for what they find. They will also have to discuss possible actions that could be taken based on the data interpretation.

• Objective: The objective of this activity is to allow students to apply the concepts of data interpretation to a real-world context. They will have the opportunity to see how data can be used to make informed decisions and solve real-world problems.

3. Activity "Data Quiz" (5 minutes):

• Description: To wrap up the Development stage, the teacher will conduct a quick quiz with the class. The teacher will present a series of questions that involve data interpretation, and students will have to answer using what they have learned in the lesson.

• Development: The quiz questions can vary in difficulty and format, including multiple choice questions, short answer questions, and questions that require interpreting a graph or a table.

• Objective: The purpose of this quiz is to assess students' understanding of the lesson topic and to identify any areas that might need review or reinforcement.

Wrap-Up (10-12 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (4-5 minutes):

• Description: After the Conclusion of the activities, the teacher will facilitate a group discussion with all the students. Each group will have the opportunity to share their analysis and conclusions from the "Data in Play" and "Real-World Data Interpretation" activities. The teacher will facilitate the discussion, asking questions to deepen students' understanding and encouraging them to think critically about the data.

• Objective: The goal of this discussion is to allow students to learn from each other and to see different approaches to data interpretation. It will also help to consolidate what they learned during the activities.

2. Connection to Theory (2-3 minutes):

• Description: Following the discussion, the teacher will connect the practical activities to the theory presented in the lesson's Introduction. The teacher will highlight how the concepts of data interpretation were applied during the activities and how they helped in solving the problems presented.

• Objective: The aim of this stage is to reinforce the importance of theory and practice working together. It will also help to clarify any doubts that students might have about the theoretical concepts.

3. Individual Reflection (2-3 minutes):

• Description: Finally, the teacher will ask students to reflect individually on what they have learned during the lesson. The students will be asked about the most important concept they learned and about any questions that are still unanswered.

• Objective: The purpose of this stage is for students to internalize what they have learned and to identify areas that need further study. It will also give the teacher a clear idea of what the students have understood and what areas might need review in future lessons.

By the end of the lesson, the teacher should make sure that the Learning Objectives have been met and that the students are prepared to apply what they have learned to new situations. The teacher should also be aware of any areas that might need review or reinforcement in future lessons.
