There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Nobody can say no to puppies, so lets use them in math! Your learners will take puppy birth weights and organize them into different graphs. They can do a variety of different graphs and detail into the problem based on your classroom...

Students compute mean, median and mode and compare mean, median and mode to a real-world application to identify their practical uses. They apply mean, median and mode to real-world statistical data. Finally, students organize data into...

Pupils select appropriate data to determine the mean, median, mode and range of a set of data. They calculate the statistical data on literacy rates and life expectancy within each geographic region of the world. Students determine the...

High schoolers participate in various activities, measuring their pulse rates and recording the data. They analyze the statistical concepts of mean, median, mode, and histograms using the data from the cardiovascular activities.

Students apply math skills to assess the range, mean, mode, and median of data sets. Using a "Reaching New Heights" worksheet, they review and discuss how to calculate the answers. Students write complete explanations of all their...

Student measure heights and graph them using growth charts for which they find the mean, mode, and median of the data set. They graph points on a Cartesian coordinate system.

For this sample mean worksheet, students explore different ways "average" is used. Students use this information to find the sample mean of the height of a large class of students. Students find the mean, median, mode and range of two...

Students determine statistics based on data.  In this statistics lesson, students use data and record in charts.  Students create graphs based on the statistics found.

For this math worksheet, students work at home with a family member on a graphing activity. Students count the number of cans, glass jars, boxes and bags in the pantry. Students make a bar and a line graph to represent the data.

Students examine a set of data based on a realtor's sales for a specific amount of time. Using this information, they calculate the mean, mode and median and how to skew the data to different points of view. They determine which...

Scholars apply prior knowledge of statistics to write a conclusion. They summarize using correct academic language and tell the story of the data.

Students will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the mode...

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper and pencil and technology and determine which measure of central tendency is the most helpful in...

Sixth graders determine the mean, range median and mode of a set of numbers and display them. In this data lesson students form a set of data and use computer spreadsheet to display the information. They extend of the process by...

Seventh graders collect and analyze data.  In the seventh grade data analysis lesson, 7th graders explore and/or create frequency tables, multiple bar graphs, circle graphs, pictographs, histograms, line plots, stem and leaf plots,...

Don't use an average resource ... use this one. As a middle school assessment task, learners first determine mean, median, and mode of salaries given in a frequency table. They then investigate how a change in one value changes the...

Teach statistics by analyzing raisins. A thorough activity provides lesson resources for five levels to include all grades. Younger pupils work on counting and estimation, mid-level learners build on their understanding of the measures...

Learners apply their understanding of luck to a probability experiment. They play a game of Pass the Pigs to determine the probability of a specific outcome. Using analysis for their data, pupils declare the measures of center, dot...

Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...

In this mathematics worksheet, students view 6 different sets of numbers. Students, for each set of numbers, find the mean, mode, median and range. Students place their answers in the boxes provided.

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

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

Fourth graders are given data (class test scores) to determine central tendencies, and find information needed to construct a normal distribution curve. They become proficient in calculating mode, median and average.
