Young mathematicians collect data on the arm spans of classmates. Then they sort the data by measures of center, spread, and standard deviation. Finally, they compare groups, such as boys and girls, to interpret any differences. 

What a find! Here is a lesson, designed to meet sixth grade math Common Core standards, that focuses on the calculation of different measures of center for the scores from a penalty shoot-out competition. An independent...

Students are able to observe and measure the variability in the length of the forearm and the length of the foot and to test a common belief of the foot is equal to the length of the forearm.

Class members study the size of classmates' feet and perform a statistical analysis of their data. They solve for central tendencies, quartiles, and spread for the entire group as well as subgroups. They then write a conclusion based on...

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

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics instructional activity, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their...

Which fluids make the best bubbles? Pupils experiment with multiple fluids to determine which allows for the largest bubbles before popping. They gather data, analyze it in multiple ways, and answer analysis questions proving they...

Middle schoolers analyze the nutritional value of breakfast cereal in order to make an informed choice. They create a stem and leaf plot which analyzes the nutritional value of the cereal they eat on a regular basis. Students write a...

Students collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics lesson, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

Students analyze sampling from different population. In this statistics lesson, students define the meaning of sample sizes and what causes an increase or decrease. They graph their data on the Ti calculator and draw conclusion from the...

Young scholars analyze different data in percentage form. In this statistics lesson, students plot data using box-plots, dotplot, and histogram. They compare and contrast the collected data using the boxplot.

Students solve quadratic function by completing the square. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the quadratic formula to factor quadratics and find the roots. They graph the parabola and identify its properties.

Young scholars play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.
