Animal Brains
Do big bodies make big brains? Let your learners decide whether there is an association between body weight and brain weight by putting the data from different animals into a scatterplot. They can remove any outliers and then make a line...

Influence and Outliers
Using the TI-Nspire calculator, statisicians identify outliers and their effect on the least-squares regression line. In finding the line of best fit, they determine what points will affect the least squares regressions and what points...

Leveled Problem Solving: Range and Outliers
In this range and outliers worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they examine data then identify outliers, find the upper and lower quartile ranges, find the interquartile range and create box-and-whisker plots.
Curated OER
Range, Cluster, Gap and Outliers
There are a number of activities here where learners collect and record data, as well as, activities where the likelihood of an event happening is calculated given the experimental probability. Young statisticians organize information...

Statistics: Standard Deviation and Outliers
In this statistics worksheet, statisticians construct a stem-plot and answer questions regarding the shape of the distribution, standard deviation, and outliers.
Curated OER
Mean, Median, Mode, Range
Learners engage in a study of mean, median, mode, and range in order to represent data in tables. They are also exposed to the results of data that is skewed because of the outlier.
Curated OER
Mean, Median and Mode
Young statisians work with sets of data. They find mean, median and mode, and discuss the effects of outliers on the data set.
Curated OER
Mean / Average
In this mean/average worksheet, learners find the mean in three ways: one, by redrawing the objects in a set to show the mean, two, by adding the numbers and dividing by how many numbers there are and three, by finding the mean with or...

Interpreting and Displaying Sets of Data
Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...
