Young mathematicians use the Visual Thesaurus to define mean, median, and mode. In this mean, median and mode lesson, learners use online sources to find the definitions of mean, median, and mode before applying the concepts to a class...

In this statistics activity, 9th graders solve and complete 5 different word problems that include different data. First, they determine if there is an explanatory and a response variable in the given data set. Then, students create a...

In this algebra worksheet, students find the missing words in the sentence. They are given the H and O, but must come up with the rest of the words based on the clues given. It is a fun assignment with 12 simple questions.

In this concept worksheet, students perform probability experiments.  Using collected information, they interpret the data.  Students answer questions about probability.  This five-page worksheet contains approximately 15...

This handout gives an overview of the passive and active voices as well as pointing out that the grammar checkers in word processing programs mark sentences written in the passive voice as incorrect. While this is not an interactive...

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...

One of the key questions in statistics is whether the results are good enough. Use an activity to help pupils understand the importance of sample size and the effect it has on variability. Groups collect their own sample data and compare...

Happy Pi Day! This collection of games, experiments, and activities leads participants through an exploration of the many aspects and attributes of that mysterious quantity, pi. Activities range from using statistical...

Explore the power of mathematics through this two-week statistics unit. Pupils learn about several climate-related issues and complete surveys that communicate their perceptions. They graph both univariate and bivariate data and use...

In this statistics worksheet, students solve 5 frequency problems. In four of the problems, the frequency table is provided and students construct one relative frequency table, one cumulative frequency table, and two cumulative relative...

Learners analyze real life jobs that involve math. They discuss jobs where math is used, and explore how math is important in many areas and research some of these jobs in the book "Paws in Jobland." They complete a worksheet with four...

In this measures of central tendency worksheet, learners find the mean, median, and mode of 9 problems given different data sets. Students then solve 2 word problems.

In this data and statistics learning exercise, learners find the mean, median, mode, and range of 4 different sets of data. Next, students solve 1 word problem where they find the mean.

Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

In this math learning exercise, students look for the answers to the 17 applications of looking at the outcomes of flipping two coins. They also graph the results.

Young scholars examine statistics and data analysis concepts from the practical questions that arise in everyday life.

In this statistical worksheet, students organize given data into a stem-and-leaf plot. They then use their organize data to answer given questions. Students create two stem-and-leaf plots and answer five questions. An answer sheet is...

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...
