Learners use data to make a tally chart and a line plot. They find the maximum, minimum, range, median, and mode of the data. Following the video portion of the lesson, students will visit a Web site to test their data collection skills...

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

Introduce mean, median, and mode and post these bright posters in your classroom. The posters focus on the vocabulary and highlights the answer choice. Each one is colorful, which will engage and attract your learners. 

Students record reaction time data and calculate minimum, maximum, mean, median, and mode. They participate in a class reaction time activity, observe and conduct an online experiment, and discuss and analyze the activity results.

There are patterns in nearly everything — even earthquakes. Pairs research current earthquakes to see if there are any patterns. They determine the mean, median, and mode of the earthquake data, along with the maximum and...

Young mathematicians explore the maximun area for patio with the added complexity of finding the mimimum cost for construction. First, they maximize the area of a yard given a limited amount of fence and  plot width v. area on a...

Get the class to take an extreme look at functions. The interactive presents a function on a closed interval with a movable tangent line. Using the given function, pupils determine the extrema, critical points, and points of...

In this statistics activity, 7th graders solve and complete 5 different problems related to determining various statistics. First, they find the average of a given set of numbers. Then, students find the median and mode of each set of...

In this family size worksheet, students complete a tally chart to determine data from a family size line plot. They organize the data in the chart to determine the mean, median, mode, and range of the data. There are six problems in...

In this measures of central tendency worksheet, quick-thinking pupils use mental math to find the mean, median, and range of samples. They use mental math to calculate subtraction problems. They complete 20 problems in which the answers...

Explore the nuts and bolts of absolute value inequalities using nuts and bolts. Pupils use an interactive to see how the minimum and maximum radii of a nut-and-bolt combination change based on the target radius and the allowable error....

Explore line graphs and their characteristics through an interactive lesson. Scholars follow a set of directions to plot data on a line graph. They then answer questions about the type of variables, minimum and maximum values, and...

Students apply math skills to assess the range, mean, mode, and median of data sets. Using a "Reaching New Heights" worksheet, they review and discuss how to calculate the answers. Students write complete explanations of all their...

Whiskers are not just for cats! Pupils create box-and-whisker plots from given data sets. They analyze the data using the graphs as their guide.

In this measures of central tendency worksheet, students solve and complete 6 different problems. First, they count the number of items in each set of data. Then, students determine the mean, median and mode for each. In addition, they...

Change the y-intercept by adding a constant to the function. Individuals move three functions vertically along the y-axis. As they observe how the equation of the functions change with the vertical movement, learners determine how...

Fifth graders design and label a bar graph using data taken from a class survey. They observe a teacher-led lecture, write and conduct their survey, and create a bar graph that includes identification of the minimum, maximum, mode,...

Students collect and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics/science lesson, students collect temperature reading over a 24 hour period.  Students analyze the data for mean, median, maximum and minimum.

In this number puzzle worksheet, students are given 8 clues to find 8 integers. Clues refer to measures of central tendencies, abundant numbers, perfect cubes, and palindromes.

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 calculations to complete the same journey of Lewis and Clark. They answer questions along their way and share information they gather with the class. They compare their calculations with those made by Lewis and Clark.

The CyberSquad searches for Hacker's castle based on a survey of where town residents have last seen him in this video from Cyberchase.
