Ready to buy a car? Learners research different makes and models of cars to decide on the best one to buy. They collect data on cost, fuel efficiency, safety ratings, and insurance costs, then create and analyze data displays to make...

Does the media shape people's views on gender? Scholars use data on gender portrayal in magazines to explore the idea. They use a spreadsheet program to create bar graphs and perform a chi-square test. They also use provided data to...

What do classmates think? In groups, learners design surveys to investigate chosen topics. They conduct the survey, then analyze the results. As part of the activity, they must calculate the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard...

High schoolers log their computer usage hours. They determine the mean, median, mode and standard deviation of the collected data. They make a frequency histogram of the grouped data, both on graph paper, and on the TI 83+ graphing...

Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.

Pupils test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics instructional activity, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Students identify the mean, quartiles and range of a boxplot. In this statistics lesson, students identify cooperative boxplot as it relates to the data. They make conjectures about students grade distribution.

Students identify the standard deviation. In this statistics lesson, students find the mean distribution and calculate the percent of deviation from the mean. They observe this change on the Ti calculator.

Young scholars analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics activity, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.

Learners identify the shape of a function. In this statistics lesson, students plot the data collected. They analyze their data for positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Students analyze the bell curve and make predictions. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics instructional activity, 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.

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

Students identify the mean and variance. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the population variance using the N as a divisor. They draw the relationship of dividing by N and N-1.

Fifth graders identify a set of data from a real world problem. In this statistics lesson, 5th graders identify the range, mode, median and mean using some manipulatives. They write words randomizing the letters.

Seventh graders examine genetics combination using statistics. In this statistics activity, 7th graders examine genetic trait using a table or punnett square to identify genotype and phenotype. This assignment requires more than one...

Eighth graders study the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages by completing activities. For this research analysis lesson, 8th graders look at different websites to figure out Jewish populations in different...

Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.

Eighth graders use the sports pages of the newspaper to analyze the mean, median, mode and range of basketball statistics.

Students examine unemployment in the United States. In this statistics instructional activity, students examine data and primary sources regarding unemployment in the United States.

Students investigate the election and poll surveys. In this statistics instructional activity, students take poll information and analyze the data. They graph their data and make predictions and conjectures.

Pupils find the mean, median and mode. In hs statistics instructional activity, students collect, plot and analyze data. The identify the effect the central tendency have on the data and line.

Pupils study probability and statistics by conducting an experiment, recording their results, and sharing data with classmates.
