Fifth graders examine baseball cards and discuss the information that is found on them. They use the internet to calculate averages of three players. They discuss how to correctly calculate the average.

Third graders see how to find the range of a set of numbers by analyzing data. After a lecture/demo, student pairs practice finding mode and range by solving problems put up on the board by the teacher.

Fourth graders work together to find the median, mode, and mean of their first and last names using a numerical code in this fun, interactive lesson. After a lecture/demo, 4th graders utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain...

Young scholars identify mean using concrete objects.

Students collect, organize, and compare different data and develop statistical methods such as: average, median, mode and range as a way for decision making by constructing table

Students research data and develop statistical methods such as mean and median price and make convincing arguments as powerful ways for decision making.

Sixth graders explore the concept of averaging of numbers and the function of a spreadsheet. Data is collected, analyzed, and displayed in this lesson. The NASCAR race results provides the basis for the collection of data.

Young scholars investigate quadratic functions graphically and algebraically.

Student measure heights and graph them using growth charts for which they find the mean, mode, and median of the data set. They graph points on a Cartesian coordinate system.

Middle schoolers examine the checkpoints along the Iditarod Trail. They calculate the distances, mean and medians between each checkpoint. Using the internet, they follow along a virtual trail. They answer questions about when it would...

Fifth graders are introduced to convergence of sequences based on averaging previous terms in the sequence. The power of the "fill-down" function in spreadsheets is exploited. By using various starting numbers, and inferring the limit,...

Students have problems in the instructional activity where they need to find the average of a set of numbers. As a class, they work a few problems and then independently complete a worksheet practicing their new skill.

Students practice measuring using the metric system and millimeters. They measure their thumbs and record their findings. Students record the findings of their classmates and find the average or mean for the two groups.

Students create a spreadsheet which includes a bar graph. They sort and classify information and use the average function on a spreadsheet. They research Skittles candy and summarize their findings on a spreadsheet.

Students discover that if a distance is traveled in two or more segments at different average speeds, you cannot average the average speeds. Instead the total distance traveled must be divided by the total elapsed time. Students practice...

Eighth graders discover the important role statistics play in sports and that appropriate data must be collected to do a statistical analysis. Students practice calculating statistics by charting a professional player of their choice.

Explain that today's project is that young scholars will get groups create a survey to poll their classmates on what they do to stay healthy. The results will then be shown on a bar graph.Students brainstorm ways of keeping healthy and...

Students explore the concepts of mean and variance. They observe properties of materials to their basic atomic or molecular structure. Students use spreadsheet software to record, tabulate and analyze collected information.

Pupils engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with the concepts related to probability. They review the key properties of statistics involved in the measurement of probability that includes mean, median, and mode. The...

In this distribution worksheet, students examine given situations, determine the probability of an event, identify the standard deviation, and find a specified percentile and quartiles. Five probability story problems are available on...

In this standard deviation worksheet, pupils are given statistical data in a story problem. They use a level of significance to test the claim given by the data. This worksheet contains three problems.

In this word problem worksheet, 5th graders review various mathematical terms by selecting the correct letter that answers each question completely. There are a total of 13 math problems to solve which vary between word problems,...

In this precalculus worksheet, students use their graphing calculator to graph the domain and range of given terms. They write parametric equations and identify the coordinates of the points on the relation given certain terms.

In this mathematics worksheet, 4th graders create a frequency table and a bar graph illustrating the results of the problem described. Then they find the average of the hours and favorite color for each word problem.
