Standard Deviation Teacher Resources

Continuing his conversation about data sets from the previous video, Sal introduces range, variance, and standard deviation as means of dispersion. Those who are advancing in algebra or who are beginning a statistics class will benefit...

Deviation is normal in the world of statistics. Viewers first learn about the normal distribution curve in an informative video. They then watch as the narrator calculates standard deviation by hand and using spreadsheets.

Does standard deviation work for non-symmetrical distributions, and what does it mean? Through the use of examples, high schoolers determine the standard deviation of a variety of distributions and interpret its meaning. Problems require...

What if math teachers are really pirates and they want us to find x so they can get the buried treasure? A short video explains how to calculate standard deviation and variance with a step-by-step guided practice problem. The formula is...

It's getting hot out there! The last installment of an 11-part Math in Science video series, standard deviation and normal distributions to analyze data. Viewers learn how to apply this method to temperature data from past decades to...

What did the math book say to the psychology book? I have a lot of problems. A helpful video covers how to calculate the margin of error with various standard deviation numbers. 

Find the standard deviation of a set of integers. Using the formula to find the standard deviation, the instructor shows you how to apply the formula to a small set of integers.

If you've always wanted to know more about spreadsheets, here's a perfect resource for you. A self-paced tutorial introduces how to autofill and copy formulas in a Google sheet or Excel spreadsheet. It also shows users how to find range,...

In this statistics instructional activity, statisticians construct a stem-plot and answer questions regarding the shape of the distribution, standard deviation, and outliers.

Good news! We only have a half day of school this morning. Granted, we have the other half this afternoon. The video is a visual representation of the definitions of mean and standard deviation. 

Wouldn't life be easier if a computer would do the work for us? A video shows how to use Excel to solve for standard deviation, mean, and variance statistics. 

Excel at your work with a lesson featuring spreadsheets. A video walks pupils slowly through how to solve standard deviation and variance using Excel in two different ways. 

When does 10 + 7 = 13? When you add wrong. The video walks you through solving standard deviation and variance problems by hand, including ways to check your work. 

Students explore about propagation of error in calculations using experimental data. They develop their weighing and pipetting techniques. Students explore the following terms: Standard deviation and relative standard deviatin. They...
