Seventh graders construct frequency tables and box-and-whisker plots. After constructing tables and plots, they take a quiz on mean, median, mode, range, scientific notation, and number properties.

Seventh graders collect and analyze data.  In the seventh grade data analysis lesson, 7th graders explore and/or create frequency tables, multiple bar graphs, circle graphs, pictographs, histograms, line plots, stem and leaf plots,...

In this statistics worksheet, students find mean, median, and mode for 3 problems. They find the mean of summarized data in 2 problems.

What a find! Here is a lesson, designed to meet sixth grade math Common Core standards, that focuses on the calculation of different measures of center for the scores from a penalty shoot-out competition. An independent...

Pupils construct a Frequency Distribution.

Upper grade and middle schoolers explore mathematics by participating in a measuring activity. They hypothesize on what the average height of a male or female 6th grader is and identify ways to find the average mathematically. Learners...

Sixth graders determine the mean, range median and mode of a set of numbers and display them. In this data lesson plan students form a set of data and use computer spreadsheet to display the information. They extend of the process...

Young scholars explore the concept of central tendencies. In this central tendencies lesson, students sort M&M's or Skittles based on color. Young scholars graph their results. Students find the mean, median, and mode of their data.

Young scholars discover how to find the mean, median, and mode from sets of data. By using statistical techniques such as whisker plots and bar graphs, they display the data gleaned from problems. Individually, students complete...

Upper grade and middle schoolers discuss their favorite TV programs, music, books, etc. Following a lesson plan on measures of central tendency, learners discuss random sampling. They conduct a survey and use charts and frequency tables...

Students make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and graph the...

Fourth graders discover the appropriate way to construct and analyze bar, line, picto, and circle graphs. They set up frequency tables and perform some statistical analysis (mean, median, and mode) on their data.

Students explain and appreciate the use of statistics in everyday life. They define basic terms used in statistics and compute simple measures of central tendency.

Students demonstrate how to use frequency and scatter diagrams. In this statistics lesson, students are introduced to different techniques of representing data. Students sort and graph data on a worksheet and use a frequency diagram to...

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics instructional activity, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their...

Students employ statistics to solve real-world problems. They collect, organize and describe data. They make inferences based on data analysis. They construct, read, and interpret tables, charts and graphs.

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...

Students study graphing skills and compare and contrast data sets. They compute pi through the first 50-100 digits and create a bar graph showing the frequencies of specific digits.

Space science stars journey through our night sky and take virtual photos of galaxies to investigate simple random samples. Higher math is used to analyze the data collected. Copy the evaluation/assessment questions onto a handout...

Young scholars collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

Students study sports teams, gather data about the teams, and create a newscast about their data. In this sports analysis lesson, students research two teams and define their statistical data. Students compare the two teams, make...

Students conduct a traffic survey and interpret their data and use graphs and charts to display their results.
