Chapter 12: Statistics (10 Days)

Day	10 Min (Previous Class Recap)	40 Min (Teaching & Guided Practice)	10 Min (Current Class Exit Check)
Day 141	Collection of data basics (Class 8).	Graphical representation of data: Need and types (Bar graphs vs Histograms).	When is a bar graph used vs a histogram?
Day 142	Bar graph concepts.	Drawing Bar Graphs for discrete categorical data (Ex 12.1 Q1–Q3).	Plot uniform width bars with correct axes scale.
Day 143	Bar graph scale selection.	Drawing Histograms for continuous grouped frequency distributions with uniform class intervals.	Identify class width and class mark of $20-30$.
Day 144	Uniform histograms.	Solving Ex 12.1 (Q4–Q6: Continuous histogram plotting).	Convert discontinuous class intervals ($1-10,11-20$) to continuous.
Day 145	Continuous interval conversion.	Histograms with varying base widths: Adjusting frequency / Length of rectangle formula.	Formula for adjusted frequency: $\frac{\text{Minimum class size}}{\text{Class size}}\times \text{Frequency}$.
Day 146	Adjusted frequency formula.	Constructing Histograms with varying class widths (Ex 12.1 Q7).	Calculate adjusted frequencies for given table.
Day 147	Varying width histograms.	Frequency Polygons: Construction using class marks (midpoints) with histograms.	Find class marks for intervals $10-20,20-30,30-40$.
Day 148	Class mark calculation.	Frequency Polygons: Construction directly without drawing histograms (Ex 12.1 Q8–Q9).	Plot frequency polygon directly from class marks.
Day 149	Frequency polygon rules.	Interpreting graphical data and misinterpretations in statistics.	Answer 3 inference questions from a graph.
Day 150	All graphical methods.	Chapter Unit Test and graph sheet presentation check.	Draw frequency polygon for given 4-class table.

Teacher's Daily Implementation Guidelines

• Board Layout Strategy: Divide your blackboard into three vertical zones:

  • Left 20%: Formulas, theorem statements, and key vocabulary for the day.

  • Middle 60%: Step-by-step worked solutions and geometric figures.

  • Right 20%: The 10-minute starter and exit questions.

• Homework Policy: Assign no more than 3–4 focused problems daily that mirror the 40-minute worked examples. Check completion during the first 10-minute phase while students work on the retrieval problem.

• Graph & Geometry Kit: Ensure every student maintains a separate graph notebook and geometry compass kit specifically for Days 29–34, 47–80, 81–114, and 141–150.
