Young mathematicians fold and flick their way to a deeper understanding of statistics with a fun, hands-on math unit. Over the course of four lessons, students use paper footballs to generate data as they learn how to create line...

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

Students collect data about energy usage and use mathematical calculations to analyze their data. For this energy conservation and statistics math lesson, students survey their homes to complete an energy usage worksheet. Students...

Sixth graders explore and discuss the effectiveness of magnets in different situations. In this math lesson, 6th graders discuss rate and graphs after exploring with magnets using different restrictions on the magnets. They analyze their...

Here is a lesson that focuses on the use of frequency graphs to identify a range of measures and makes sense of data in a real-world context as well as constructing frequency graphs given information about the mean, median, and range of...

Explore the measures of central tendency through a challenging task. Given values for the mean, median, mode, and range, collaborative groups create a set of data that would produce those values. They then critique other answers and...

Students identify the central tendencies. In this statistics lesson, students find the mean, median and mode of their collected data. They explain the effect of outliers on the data.

Students research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode instructional activity, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Students collect and analyze data finding the range,...

Students apply central tendencies to given data. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the mean, median, and mode as it relates to their data. They collect data and graph it while identifying the way the numbers are ordered.

How do you rate? Young scholars use graphical data to analyze ratings of different television episodes. Their analyses include best-fit lines, mean, median, mode, and range.

What do classmates think? In groups, learners design surveys to investigate chosen topics. They conduct the survey, then analyze the results. As part of the activity, they must calculate the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard...
