Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

Which fluids make the best bubbles? Pupils experiment with multiple fluids to determine which allows for the largest bubbles before popping. They gather data, analyze it in multiple ways, and answer analysis questions proving they...

Use a box of raisins to help introduce the concept of data analysis. Learners collect, analyze and display their data using a variety of methods. The included worksheet takes them through a step-by-step analysis process and graphing.

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson plan, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Youngsters count, classify, and estimate quantities using buttons after a read aloud of The Button Box by Margarette S. Reid. They discuss the difference between guessing and estimating. Based on an experiment, they predict the...

A helpful and versatile activity requires young mathematicians to analyze data in order to create graphs and answer questions. Additionally, it prompts learners to find the mean, median, mode, and range of some of the data sets.

Collections of data represented in stem and leaf plots are organized by young statisticians as they embark some math engaging activities.

Scholars research arm span to determine who gives the best bear hugs. They use data from a national study to find the standard statistics for arm span. It includes mean, median, quartiles, spread, standard deviation, and more.

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students display their data using excel. They plot the data on a coordinate plane and draw conclusion from their data.

Students analyze different data in percentage form. In this statistics instructional activity, students plot data using box-plots, dotplot, and histogram. They compare and contrast the collected data using the boxplot.

The lesson focuses on the ideas of dot plot representations and the mean absolute deviation of data sets.

Students evaluate equations and identify graphs. In this statistics lesson, students identify plotted points on a coordinate plane as having a positive, negative or no correlation. They complete basic surveys, plot their results and...

Students investigate if gender makes a difference in the classroom. In this statistics lesson, students collect data on whether equity by gender in the classroom makes students more successful.

Young mathematicians collect data on the arm spans of classmates. Then they sort the data by measures of center, spread, and standard deviation. Finally, they compare groups, such as boys and girls, to interpret any differences. 

Using a 2002 California Gray David recall vote as an example, young statisticians  identify sources of bias in samples and find ways of reducing and eliminating sampling bias. They consider ways to select random samples from a...

Your learners will practice many ways of describing data using coordinate algebra in this unit written to address many Common Core State Standards. Simple examples of different ways to organize data are shared and then practice problems...

Class members study the size of classmates' feet and perform a statistical analysis of their data. They solve for central tendencies, quartiles, and spread for the entire group as well as subgroups. They then write a conclusion based on...

Students are introduce to the notion of stem-and-leaf plots. They use stem-and-leaf plots to calculate the mean, median, and mode of a set of data. Students use computers to learn about stem-and-leaf plots.

Learners collect and analyze data. For this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.

Young scholars participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as...

In which direction is traffic moving faster, north or south?  Use box and whisker plots to organize data and interpret the results. Detailed solutions are included. This activity would be good as a warm up or quick assessment at the...

Students discover how to find the mean, median, and mode from sets of data. By using statistical techniques such as whisker plots and bar graphs, they display the data gleaned from problems. Individually, students complete projects...

Students analyze the nutritional value of breakfast cereal in order to make an informed choice. They create a stem and leaf plot which analyzes the nutritional value of the cereal they eat on a regular basis. Students write a letter to...

Students identify the different central tendencies. In this probability lesson, students create the correct type of graphs to analyze their data. They make predictions and draw conclusions from their data.
