What did gender have to do with the survival rates of the Donner Party? Using comparative box plots, classes compare the ages of the survivors and nonsurvivors. Using the same method, individuals make conclusions about the...

The battle of the sexes? Scholars first examine data on hurricane-related deaths and create graphical displays. They then use the data and displays to consider whether hurricanes with female names result in more deaths than hurricanes...

In this data analysis instructional activity, learners solve and complete 6 different problems that include using various types of data analysis. First, they create a stem-and-leaf plot of the ratios shown at the top and determine the...

Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Use measures of variance to compare and analyze data sets. Pupils match histograms of data sets to their respective statistical measures. They then use calculated statistics to further analyze groups of data and use the results to make...

In this range and outliers worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they examine data then identify outliers, find the upper and lower quartile ranges, find the interquartile range and create box-and-whisker plots.

For this data management and probability applications worksheet, 8th graders solve 20 various types of probability problems. They find the mean, median, mode and range of various numbers. Then, students use the spinner illustration to...

Not all pie graphs are about pies. The class conducts a survey on favorite fast food categories in a lesson on data representation. Pupils use the results to create a circle graph.

In this data analysis learning exercise, students solve five questions by finding the mode and median of each set of numbers. On the second page, students find the mean of six sets of numbers. On the third page, students find the mode,...

Conduct an experiment to determine the accuracy of pedometers versus pedometer apps. Class members collect data from each device, analyze the data using a hypothesis test, and determine if there is a significant difference...

In this data analysis instructional activity, students complete 1 problem that has 7 parts involving mean, median, mode, range, and quartiles. Students then perform 5 operations with matrices.

In this statistics worksheet, statisticians construct a stem-plot and answer questions regarding the shape of the distribution, standard deviation, and outliers.

Have learners use math to prove they are sports stars! Assess a pupil's ability to create and analyze data using a variety of graphs. The class will be motivated by the association of math and basketball data.

Caffeine affects your heart rate — or does it? Learners study experimental design while conducting their own experiment. They collect heart rate data after drinking a caffeinated beverage, create a box plot, and draw conclusions....

Explore the effect of outliers through an analysis of mean, median, and standard deviation. Your classes examine and compare these measures for two groups. They must make sense of a group that has a higher mean but lower median compared...

Obesity is a worldwide concern. Using survey results, learners compare local BMI statistics to celebrity BMI statistics. Scholars create box plots of the data, make observations about the shape and spread of the data, and examine the...

Test your knowledge of linear functions and models. The last installment of a 16-part module is an end-of-module assessment task. Pupils solve multi-part problems on bivariate data based on real-world situations to review concepts from...

In this box and whisker plot worksheet, high schoolers create a box and whisker plot from a given set of data. They identify the lower quartile, upper quartile, the mean, and outliers. This one-page worksheet contains 20 sets of...

In this box-and-whisker plots activity, 9th graders solve and complete 14 different problems that include comparing various box-and-whisker plots. First, they determine the median for each set of data and plot the lesser range. Then,...

For this scatterplots and regressions worksheet, students solve 6 different types of problems related to graphing scatterplots and interpreting regressions. First, they create a scatterplot from the given data coordinates and then,...

In this mean/average activity, learners find the mean in three ways: one, by redrawing the objects in a set to show the mean, two, by adding the numbers and dividing by how many numbers there are and three, by finding the mean with or...

In this line plots and outliers worksheet, students analyze a table that shows the number of miles run by a girl over a period of days. Students determine if there is an outlier in the data and answer 3 questions.
