Questionnaires
Check the appropriate box. Class members determine whether a questionnaire is an appropriate one. The portion of the General Certificate of Secondary Education math assessment review requires pupils to create a valid questionnaire to...
Curated OER
How Many?
Students investigate concepts related to data collection and interpretation. They generate all possible outcomes in a beginning study in the realm of statistics. The use of real life situations helps to engage students.
Curated OER
Gathering, Recording, and Presenting Data
Sixth graders use the local newspaper to find and discuss examples of uses of statistics and the ways in which the information is presented. They create and represent their own set of data showing how students get to school each day.
Curated OER
Analyzing Country Data
Students analyze different data in percentage form. For this statistics lesson, students plot data using box-plots, dotplot, and histogram. They compare and contrast the collected data using the boxplot.
Curated OER
Assessing Normalcy
Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics instructional activity, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from...
Curated OER
What is a P-value?
Young scholars test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics instructional activity, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Vote for Me!
Tenth graders analyze voter trends in South Carolina and discover techniques canddidates and their parties use to convince us to vote their way. They are able to locate voting statistics for their county; compare the number of...
Curated OER
How to Make Histograms
Pupils collect data and plot it using a histogram. In this statistics lesson, students interpret histograms. They find the frequency, percents and density.
Curated OER
Boxplots Introduction
Students describe the pattern of a bell curve graph. In this statistics lesson plan, students move data around and make observation about the mean, and the quartiles. They define boxplot, outlier, range and other important vocabulary...
Curated OER
Multiply Boxplots
Students identify the mean, quartiles and range of a boxplot. In this statistics lesson plan, students identify cooperative boxplot as it relates to the data. They make conjectures about students grade distribution.
Curated OER
Center and Spread
Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students define and calculate the range, median and standard deviation. They identify reasons for a skewed distribution.
Curated OER
Measure of Spread
Young scholars identify the standard deviation. In this statistics lesson, students find the mean distribution and calculate the percent of deviation from the mean. They observe this change on the Ti calculator.
Curated OER
How Far is Far?
Students calculate the standard deviation of data. For this statistics lesson, students collect data, plot it and analyze it. They identify the mean, median and range of their data.
Curated OER
Center of Mass
Students identify the geometric mean of their data. In this statistics lesson, students collect data and graph their findings. They identify the mean, range and mode.
Curated OER
Z-Scores
Students solve problems by identifying the percent of area under the curve. In this statistics lesson, students discuss z-scores as they calculate the different percentages under the bell curve. They calculate the standard deviation.
Curated OER
Normal Probability Plot
Students analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics instructional activity, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal...
Curated OER
Looking Normal
Students identify the shape of a function. In this statistics lesson, students plot the data collected. They analyze their data for positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.
Curated OER
Percentiles
Learners analyze the bell curve and make predictions. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.
Curated OER
Probability Distributions
Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics lesson, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.
Curated OER
Sampling Distributions
Learners analyze sampling from different population. In this statistics lesson, students define the meaning of sample sizes and what causes an increase or decrease. They graph their data on the Ti calculator and draw conclusion from the...
Curated OER
Why Divide by N-1?
Young scholars identify the mean and variance. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the population variance using the N as a divisor. They draw the relationship of dividing by N and N-1.
Curated OER
Confidence Levels
Students collect data and graph it. In this statistics lesson, students rate confidence levels by collecting data and analyzing it. They graph their findings on the Ti calculator.
Curated OER
Meaning of Power
Students graph exponential and power functions. In this statistics lesson, students test a specific hypotheses and draw conclusion. They use the graph of polynomials to test and draw their conclusions.
