Classify the Big Ben of all data with a video that defines quantitative and qualitative data. Given data about Big Ben, the presenter classifies each piece based upon the definitions. In the Types of Data worksheet, individuals show they...

The data sample comes from the number of glasses of water consumed each day by 15 students. You are trying to find minimum, maximum, median, and quartile from this data set. Minimum is the smallest number that occurs, while maximum is...

You already know that the mode of a data set is the number that occurs most often in the set. But what if all of the numbers in the set occur the same number of times? I could tell you the answer, but I think you should watch the video.

Mode, the number that occurs most often. A data set could have one mode, no modes, or multiple modes. The teacher explains these variations and even gives some example of non-numerical data and how to figure out the mode.

You already know that the mode of a data set is the number that occurs most often in the set. But what if all of the numbers in the set occur the same number of times? I could tell you the answer, but I think you should watch the video.

Represent data graphically. Allow your class to explore different methods of representing data. They create foldables, sing songs, and play a dice game to reinforce the measures of central tendency.

Data is just waiting for scholars to analyze. By viewing a video of a data analyst explaining his job and the math that surrounds it, scholars begin a lesson on data collection and analysis. Groups develop questions for a poll on teenage...

Can scholars determine the mean if the frequency is for a range? By using a method similar to finding the mean from a frequency table, the video shows how to find an estimated mean for grouped data. It uses the midpoint of the interval...
