There is so much more to data than just numbers, and this resource has learners use three methods of comparing data in a multi-faceted lesson. The 21-page packet includes a warm-up, examples, an activity, and assessment for a...

Many types of cancer treatments now depend on nanotechnology—a big "little" discovery. Scholars begin by removing "malignant" tissue from simulated brains, one using fluorescent markers thanks to nanotechnology and one without. This...

Baseball is all about statistics. Pupils solve problems related to mean, median, and range. They calculate the total weight of players given the mean weight, calculate the mean weight of reserve players given the mean weight of the...

Students describe the movement of the Earth as it relates to the sun. They construct a permanent compass rose and use it to find directions.

Students examine the relationship between altitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity at a particular location. They practice science and math in real world applications. They write reports detailing their scientific...

Students explore and analyze atmospheric conditions for a high mountain retreat. They examine the relationship between altitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity at a particular location. In addition, they write reports...

Students listen to an original recording of Louis Armstrong and discuss instrumentation. They identify an AABA song form as they listen. They list similarities between the following: traditional meets modern and small group vs. big band.

Learners participate in an election. They are asked to vote for one of four candidates without knowing who they are or what they stand for. Students gain an important lesson when voting to make sure that security of freedom and...

Begin by reviewing mean absolute deviation as a measure of variability. Your new learning will begin with standard deviation and understanding the difference between mean absolute deviation and standard deviation.

This lesson demonstrates to students how to use standard deviation to better understand a set of data. Students use standard deviation to determine the general pattern or shape of a given set of data to draw more reliable conclusions.

This World of Mathematics site by Eric Weisstein explains the term "Standard deviation." Provides step-by-step help, examples, and charts.

Students learn how to calculate the standard deviation by hand. Detailed examples that explore how to use the standard deviation formula are included.

How to find the standard deviation is explained and demonstrated with this calculator. Reloading the page presents you with new numbers.

Gain an understanding of standard deviation and normal distribution by viewing an example and a video lesson.

Explore what the standard deviation is as it relates to the graph of a normal distribution curve.

The purpose of this task is to deepen student understanding of the standard deviation as a measure of variability in data distribution. The task is divided into four parts, each of which asks students to think about standard deviation in...

Students develop a better intuitive understanding of what is meant by variability in statistics. Emphasis is placed on the standard deviation as a measure of variability.

Explanation of frequency distributions, mean, standard deviations, and variance including a Java Applet.

Page centered around a computer program to determine mean, variance, and standard deviation.

Calculate the standard deviation of a population. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Calculate the standard deviation of a population.
