Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...

Learn a different way to determine variability. An informative activity provides directions on how to calculate the mean absolute deviation of a data set. Pupils use examples to learn the process and then practice finding the mean...

How many people do you need in a room before two likely share the same birthday? Scholars consider this puzzle by analyzing a set of data. They ponder how to divide the data and determine the proper size of a group for this event to...

Write, edit, and then revise! The fourth lesson plan in a five-part series asks peers to provide feedback on research. Individuals then use the research to edit and revise conclusions and develop their presentations.

It is not as difficult as herding cats. The short interactive provides a group of kittens to sort according to their colors. Pupils determine the mode of the number of kittens by color. The questions continue with other numbers of...

It is positive that how one performs on the first test relates to their performance on the second test. The three-question assessment has class members read and analyze a scatter plot of test scores. They must determine whether...

Given four sets of data, zombie-loving mathematicians find the mode, range, mean, and median for each set. The sheet is more challenging if calculators are not used; but the data set with large numbers may require a calculator.

"Clean the data!" "I did not know it was dirty." Introduce your class to the process of cleaning data so that it can analyze it. Groups work through a guide that demonstrates the common ways to filter and sort data. Pairs then...

It's one thing to be able to read a pie graph, but it's another to analyze a pie graph and match it to its data table. Use a multiple choice worksheet when challenging learners to practice this skill. With six data charts and pie graphs,...

A helpful and versatile worksheet requires young mathematicians to analyze data in order to create graphs and answer questions. Additionally, it prompts learners to find the mean, median, mode, and range of some of the data sets.

Young hopefuls can practice finding the average of a group of numbers represented in tables and word problems. 

Collections of data represented in stem and leaf plots are organized by young statisticians as they embark some math engaging activities.

So you've got some x-values and some y-values and you want to make a scatter plot. First thing is to make a table for your x and y values. Then make ordered pairs and you can plot them.

Looking for the range of a set of numbers? Well, that means you are looking for the difference between the largest value and the smallest value. So first, write the numbers in order from least to greatest. Then identify the largest value...

There are eight decimals numbers in this data set. Find the mean. So add all the terms together and then divide that total number by the number of terms in the data set. That's how you find the mean or average of a data set.

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.

Mean, mode, median? What's the difference? How do you find them? The teacher focuses on explaining median in this video. She gives a good explanation and shows how to order a data set to find the median number. This given data set has an...

Assist your math learners in reporting the number of observations shown in a histogram or line plot for a set of data. While this is a simple video lesson where learners may need additional practice to master, the resource includes a...

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.

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...

So you have a data set and you want a visual diagram to help you analyze the data. Not sure how to draw it? The instructor illustrates four different ways to look at a frequency table: two tally tables, one line graph, and one bar graph....

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.

So you've got some x-values and some y-values and you want to make a scatter plot. First thing is to make a table for your x and y values. Then make ordered pairs and you can plot them.
