Central Tendencies and Normal Distribution Curve

Exactly how fair is the World Cup? Even though all teams have the same number of players and follow the same rules, there are other factors that come into play. This series of three lessons explores the impact that income inequality,...

Young mathematicians fold and flick their way to a deeper understanding of statistics with a fun, hands-on math unit. Over the course of four lessons, students use paper footballs to generate data as they learn how to create line...

In this mean, median, and mode activity, students read how to use each method and then complete problems using each one. Students complete 8 problems.

Students explore averages by completing a data analysis activity. In this bell curve lesson, students measure different food items and plot their measurements on a X and Y axis. Students create bell curves around the average weight or...

Start an engaging data analysis study with a review of charts and graphs using the linked interactive presentation, which is both hilarious and comprehensive. There are 27 statistics-related vocabulary terms you can use in a word sort....

Students, using small individual bags of M&Ms, engage in activities including; estimating, sorting, graphing, mean, median, mode, fractions, percentage, and averaging.

Young scholars play a card game where they spread their cards face up and arrange them from least to greatest. They figure the mean, median, and the range for their set of cards and write those numbers on a sheet of paper.

Students engage in experiences involving the mathematical concept of averages. After watching a video, students explore averaging through a variety of different methods.

Students calculate the mean. In this lesson on averages, students watch a video on athletes and averages and complete a worksheet. This lesson emphasizes mean as the "fair share measure of center".

Students work on a problem, individually or in pairs. They are asked questions that focus on average. They discus that the average number represents an equal redistribution , rather than just being able to state the rule. They write...
