Students examine skyscrapers by conducting Internet research and by creating and interpreting graphs. After reading the book, "Skyscraper," they discuss reasons why the structures are built. Once they have researched the tallest...

Students examine techniques to represent data. In this data analysis lesson plan, students read about various ways to represent data, such as a stem and leaf diagram and calculating standard deviation. Students complete data analysis...

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

Collections of data represented in stem and leaf plots are organized by young statisticians as they embark some math engaging activities.

Seventh graders use the Internet to get current sports information for data analysis. They use their data to find the mean, median, mode and range. Students then place their data on a spreadsheet.

Students identify the mean, median and mode of collected data. In this statistics lesson, students collect, graph and analyze data using central tendencies. They work in groups to collect data on a robot through an obstacle course.

In this finding the mode worksheet, 5th graders find the mode of 6 sets of numbers. They write the mode of each set in the box below the numbers.

Run headlong into a great resource. Young mathematicians explore the Nike+ app to see which measure of central tendency motivates runners the most. They use two screenshots of the app to help them make their determinations.

In this math worksheet, students plot the mean, median, and mode for the colors of M and M candies by filling in the graphic organizer.

Eighth graders explore the correct use of box and whisker plors. The times when they are appropriate to use to compare data is covered. They plot data according to statistical analysis including mean, median, and mode.

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.

In this algebra learning exercise, students identify the mean, median and mode. They use the standard deviation to solve problems. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

Students calculate the standard deviation of data. In this statistics instructional activity, students collect data, plot it and analyze it. They identify the mean, median and range of their data.

Students examine the concept of standard deviation, calculating mean, and collecting data. They measure the standard deviation in a bag of M&M candy, record the data, and calculate the mean.

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

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...

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 instructional activity. After a lecture/demo, 4th graders utilize a worksheet imbedded in this...

Fourth graders are given data (class test scores) to determine central tendencies, and find information needed to construct a normal distribution curve. They become proficient in calculating mode, median and average.

Give your mathematicians this set of data and have them create a dot plot, then find mean and median. They are asked to question the values of the mean and median and decide why they are not equal. Have learners write their answers or...

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

Investigate the meaning of a sample proportion using this hands-on activity. Scholars collect data and realize that the larger the sample size the more closely the data resembles a normal distribution. They compare the sample proportion...

Explore the habitats around you with an activity that takes kids out of the classroom to learn about the local variety of habitats and the living things that call them home. In small groups, scholars investigate their surroundings,...

For this averages worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 3 various types of problems. First, they find the mean, mode, median and range for each set of data shown. Then, students match each team to the picture shown that they think...

In this statistics worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 5 various types of problems related to determining statistics. First, they determine the data set where the median value is equal to the mean value. Then, students determine...
