About This Topic

Conducting hypothesis tests for population means using Z-tests and t-tests.

Key Questions

  1. When do we use a Z-test versus a t-test?
  2. How do we formulate null and alternative hypotheses for one-tailed and two-tailed tests?
  3. What conclusions can we draw from the test statistic?

Planning templates for Mathematics

Lesson Plan

5E Model

The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.

Unit Planner

Math Unit

Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.

Rubric

Math Rubric

Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
