Young scholars investigate the sport of skiing through Internet research in this multi-task lesson. They compare and generalize the results of five individuals by using mean, median, and mode.

Eighth graders practice constructing bar, circle, and box-and-whisker graphs. They practice reading and interpreting data displays and explore how different displays of data can lead to different interpretations.

Eighth graders, in groups, count the different colors of M&M's in each kind of package and then draw a pictograph to show the results. Each group writes a program to show their results and then compare the manually-drawn and computer...

In this range and mode instructional activity, students read the math word problems and the numbers within the problem to help find the range and mode for each problem.

Second graders examine how to make and read bar graphs. In this bar graph lesson, 2nd graders compare bar graphs to pictographs by looking at hair color survey data. They practice making a bar graph and finding the range of the data.

Seventh graders use daily temperature models to find the mean, mode and median.

Ninth graders collect data on basketball player's heights and determine the mean, median, and mode for the data.

Students use temperature, cloud cover and other weather data from the S'COOL website to statistically analyze weather around the country. They use computers to calculate and graph standard deviations, means and modes of the weather...

Students study mean, median, and mode. They construct paper airplanes and test them to see how far they fly. They measure the distance and then find the averages of their throws. They use spreadsheet software to record the data in a...

Students discover the process of finding the mean, median, and mode. Through guided practice and problem solving activities, they use a computer program to input data and create a graph. Graph data is used to calculate the mean,...

Students create a spreadsheet that organizes housing information in the Houston area. They write a formula to determine the average price of homes in the Houston area.

Students enter data regarding the height of classmates into a spreadsheet. Formulas will also be entered to find the median, mean, and mode of the data.

Sixth graders create and use a spreadsheet to make graphs which will be used to analyze Progress Report and Final Report Card grades. They practice finding the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. Students also incorporate column...

In this number averages worksheet, learners review how to find the average of a given set of numbers. Students then complete three word problems by averaging numbers.

The first activity in this resource has learners computing the mean and standard deviation of two different data sets and drawing conclusions based on their results. The second activity has them using a dice-rolling simulation to...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Students use given data to compare baseball players. They create box and whisker plots to compare the players and determine which they feel is the best player. Students use calculators to make box and whisker plots. They write paragraphs...

Students read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...

Fourth graders learn about the Solar System while they use mean, median and mode to explore the characteristics of the planets. Students web publish expository writing.

Students do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.

Students follow examples to study basic concepts of statistics. They work independently through the activities.

Students are introduced to stem-and-leaf plots and calculating the mean, median, and mode from the plots.

Young scholars review and reinforce the concepts of mean, median, and mode based on the number of siblings the students have. They use Post-it notes to organize and re-organize the data.

Students explore how to identify the range, median, and mode in a list of numbers by using concrete materials.
