Given four sets of data, zombie-loving mathematicians find the mode, range, mean, and median for each set. The sheet is more challenging if calculators are not used; but the data set with large numbers may require a calculator.

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

Learners examine kinds of data used to report statistics, and create their own statistical report based on any of the four sources of media information (Internet, newspaper, TV, magazine).

Students use a spreadsheet to compute landmark statistics of a math quiz. This lesson can be ongoing throughout the school year and it integrates mathematics curriculum and technology in a simple format for student use.
