Eighth graders are read the material that is printed in boldface type inside the boxes. Information in regular type inside the boxes and all information outside the boxes should not be read to them. They then find the mean, median,...

Students use the internet to gather a minimum of thirty pieces of data. Students create box and whisker graphs, and stem and leaf plots from the information. They calculate mean, median, mode, and range. Students write a summary and...

Sixth graders practice Least Common Multiple in fractions. In this fraction lesson plan, 6th graders look at two different fractions and find a common denominator. They sing a song to memorize mean, median, and mode. 

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students review the concept of median, explore how to calculate quartiles for any size data set and experience how to build a box plot.

Sixth graders analyze mathematics by participating in a botany activity. In this holly lesson, 6th graders identify if all holly leaves have the same amount of prickles by conducting a math survey. Students analyze many leaves and...

Students are introduced to the organization of data This lesson is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...

Students demonstrate their understanding of math skills. In this data analysis lesson, students complete a worksheet requiring them to calculate mean, median, and mode, and create and interpret graphs. Lesson is intended as an assessment...

This PowerPoint enables students to review mathematical terms in an interactive review game format. The slides contain a question about a mathematical term and the students must answer with the correct vocabulary word in order to get...

Students collect and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics/science lesson, students collect temperature reading over a 24 hour period.  Students analyze the data for mean, median, maximum and minimum.

Pupils complete several games and experiments, tally and graph their results. They figure the mean, median, range and/or average of their graphs to describe class results. They consider which statistic best represents the data at hand.

Students calculate the mean, median, and mode in a set of numbers. In this data analysis lesson, students put a set of numbers in ascending order and perform calculations to find the mean, median, and mode.

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

Fifth graders are introduced to the topic of means. Calculating the mean, mode and median, they describe what each set of numbers tell and do not tell about the data. They use a line graph to practice finding the mean. They also use...

Fifth graders define words. They create a dichotomous key. After carefully examining pill bugs, 5th graders record observations. They compare and contrast habitats of pillbugs.

Twelfth graders find the mean, median, and modes of stacks of Lego blocks, They search in newspapers for real life applications of them. They present oral reports on what they have learned.

Fifth graders investigate the concept of median, mode, and range using a simple model for display purposes. They examine different shaped crackers out of a box and identify the ones that occur the most. Then the calculations for the...
