Students find a correlation between a person's height and his/her shoe size. They have access to entering data into lists on a graphing calculator and can complete scatter plots. Students read and interpret a scatter plot and use the...

In which direction is traffic moving faster, north or south?  Use box and whisker plots to organize data and interpret the results. Detailed solutions are included. This activity would be good as a warm up or quick assessment at the...

Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Students describe the pattern of a bell curve graph. In this statistics lesson, students move data around and make observation about the mean, and the quartiles. They define boxplot, outlier, range and other important vocabulary words...

Young scholars gather and analyze data from sports teams. In this measures of central tendency lesson, students gather information from websites about sports team performance. Young scholars analyze and draw conclusions from this data....

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics instructional activity, students plot their data on a coordinate plane and find the line of best fit. They calculate the linear regression using the data.

Compare different random sampling types using an archaeological setting. Scholars collect data from an archaeological plot using simple random samples, stratified random samples, systematic random samples, and cluster random samples....

Future public health officials read about the exposure to pyrethroid pesticides and analyze box plots of pesticide use, diet, and children's ages. They discuss whether or not there are any relationships in the data. If you feel this...

In this business and statistics worksheet, students read real-life business problems, arrange data, and identify the probability method best used to determine the answer. They identify the type of random sample, draw stem-and-leaf plots,...

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper and pencil and technology and determine which measure of central tendency is the most helpful in...

Students select appropriate tools and technology to perform tests, collect data, and display data. They construct appropriate graphs from data and develop qualitative statements about the relationships between variables.

Young scholars collect data using email. They calculate the mean, median, mode, range and outliers. They create a graph using the data results. They write five paragraphs to summarize their data.

Students create spreadsheets which will display and figure mean, median, and mode of a set of numbers.

In this explanatory and response variables activity, students answer 4 problems surrounding variable relationships and outliers. Student must construct a scatter plot.

Students explore for water on Mars using impact crater morphology. During this lab, students: investigate how to use the equation writing and graphing capabilities in Microsoft Excel, then develop and apply an impact crater...

Sixth graders engage in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, and connecting to represent and solve problems, using geometric models.

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.

Pupils identify the central tendencies. In this statistics lesson, students find the mean, median and mode of their collected data. They explain the effect of outliers on the data.

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. For this line of best fit lesson, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of...

Explore the concept of mean, median, and mode with pupils. They estimate the length of a string or the number of M&M's in a jar. Then find the mean, median, and mode of the class' estimates.

Eighth graders research box plots on the Internet. They gather real life statistics and analyze the collected statistics by making multiple box plots on the TI-83 calculator.

In this statistics learning exercise, students determine the mean, variance, standard deviation and median of given statistical data. They organize data, create box-and-whisker plots and identify outliers. This nine-page learning...

Students discuss scatter plots then create a class scatter plot using their heart rate at rest and their heart rate after a few minutes of aerobic exercises. Students copy the points plotted as a class and create individual graphs...

Third graders work in groups of two to three with measuring tapes, finding the circumference and diameter of teacher-selected circular items. They relate circumference and diameter measurements to find pi.
