Students explain and appreciate the use of statistics in everyday life. They define basic terms used in statistics and compute simple measures of central tendency.

Students create graphs of circles. In this geometry lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to create graphs. They construct the graphs using paper and pencil as well as the computer.

In this concept worksheet, students perform probability experiments.  Using collected information, they interpret the data.  Students answer questions about probability.  This five-page worksheet contains approximately 15...

For this symbols worksheet, students read about how different symbols are used to represent variables or constants in equations. Then students complete 3 problems.

Students explore how loudness is measured. They identify the decibel scale and explain the amplitude of the sound wave.

In this arthropods activity, high schoolers will review arthropod exoskeletons, jointed appendages, molting, and types of respiratory structures. Students will also review arthropod senses, body systems, and reproduction. This activity...

Students examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Make a frequency table to organize and display data.

Multiple graphs can represent the same data set and make the information easier to understand.

Dot plots and frequency tables are tools for displaying data in a more organized fashion. In this article, we review how to make dot plots and frequency tables.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Make a histogram given a frequency table.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This Concept covers making frequency tables and using them to create a histogram.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Make a histogram given a frequency table.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Make a bar graph to display given data.

In this lesson, students will participate in a group activity using a sponge ball and a growing human circle. The students will be added to a circle in groups of two and will pass the sponge ball from hand to hand until it returns to the...

Six problems present various aspects of using and making tables and graphs to display statistics. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View...

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

Practice creating dot plots. Dot plots are very similar to frequency tables, but they make it easier to see the data. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
