Now You SeeIt, Now You Don't: Using SeeIt to Compare Stacked Dotplots to Boxplots
How does your data stack up? A hands-on activity asks pupils to collect a set of data by measuring their right-hand reach. Your classes then analyze their data using a free online software program and make conclusions as to the...

Normal Distributions (part 2)
From z-scores to probability. Learners put together the concepts from the previous lessons to determine the probability of a given range of outcomes. They make predictions and interpret them in the context of the problem.

Normal Distributions (part 1)
Don't allow your pupils to become outliers! As learners examine normal distributions by calculating z-scores, they compare outcomes by analyzing the z-scores for each.

Exploring the Normal Curve Family
Students find different characteristics of the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students analyze a family for a specific characteristic. They identify the shape, center, spread and area as they analyze the characteristic of the...
Curated OER
The Bell Curve
Learners are introduced to the concepts of the normal curve, skewness and the standard deviation. They discuss how the normal distribution has been used and misused to support conclusions.
