Students analyze data from the Iditarod race. In this data analysis lesson, students work in pairs to analyze data and answer several questions such as, "what is the difference in the rate of travel" and "how much more prize money does...

Learners find the mean, median, and mode for each of four data sets. They are given two line plots, and compute the median and mode of the shown data. They find the median and mode for three stem and leaf plots. They solve two word...

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

Students will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the mode...

Students gather appropriate information for simple statistical analysis. Then they will calculate probability working with a piece of literature that makes this lesson ideal for teaching across the whole curriculum.

Second graders determine the difference between making a prediction and determining actual information. They design a spreadsheet for a coin flipping activity on which they include their predictions and what actual happens when they flip...
