Learners read a variety of word problems and find the mode, median, range, and mode from a given set of data. If calculators are not desirable, provide the class with notebook paper to work out the equations. 

Fourth graders investigate when to find the mean, median, mode and range.  In this statistical concepts lesson, 4th graders collect data, make observations and graph the data. Students verify their work on the computer.

What a find! Here is a lesson plan, designed to meet sixth grade math Common Core standards, that focuses on the calculation of different measures of center for the scores from a penalty shoot-out competition. An independent...

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.

In this lesson, Dynamic Data Range, Mode, Median, and Mean, students play a game while figuring range, mode, median, and mean. Students spin for their task, figure the mode, mean, median or range of a row of numbers and gain a space on...

Students explore the concepts of mean, median, mode, and range as they elicit data about people's favorite flavor of ice cream. A practical application of the data obtained offers an extension to the lesson plan.

Eighth graders use the sports pages of the newspaper to analyze the mean, median, mode and range of basketball statistics.

Sixth graders identify the mean, median, mode and range in a given set of data. Using a specified website, they use their skills to play the game, "Train Race" where students find the mean, median, and rage of information to help the...

Students calculate mean, median, range, mode and probability. Then, working in teams, they use data from their workplace to compute values for these terms. Finally the class explores the term "probability" using a die.

Fifth graders explore collecting and analyzing data. In this mean, median and mode lesson, 5th graders use real word data to determine the mean, median and mode. Students are given sets of numbers on index cards as asked to find the...

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.

Students compute measures of central tendency.  In this range, mean, median and mode lesson, students gather information on the internet, organize the data and then compute the measures of central tendency.  They create a...

Reinforce the concept of central tendency—mean, median, mode, and range—with a practice packet that comprises of eight problems and a structured answer sheet with plenty of room to show work.   

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.

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...

Young statisticians use and interpret measures of center and spread such as mean, median, and mode as well as range. They use box plots to represent their data and answer questions regarding the correspondence between data sets and the...

Students determine statistics based on data.  In this statistics lesson, students use data and record in charts.  Students create graphs based on the statistics found.

Fourth graders describe weather data using the mean, median and mode. In this mean, median and mode lesson, 4th graders understand how to calculate data using mean, median and mode and why they would use each one.

Twelfth graders calculate the mean, median, and mode of various wages. They apply these skills to asking for pay raises. They discuss whether the mean, median, or mode provide the highest wage increase.

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

New Horizons began its journey to Pluto in 2006. Ten years later, it continues its mission. In that time, scholars have surely grown, but how much more will they grow by the time New Horizons reaches its destination? Find out with an...

What is the best measure of central tendency? Scholars explore mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range to understand the similarities and differences. They display data in dot plots, histograms, box plots, and more as part of...

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot instructional activity, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

Eighth graders view pictures that show many objects, estimate amount that they think they saw, and take class data from estimation to find the mean, median, mode, and range for the class.
