Learners explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Learners perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...

Students analyze data using central tendencies. In this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data using the mean, median and mode. They create a power point representing the different measures of central tendency.

In this line plot learning exercise, students create a line plot of given data. They identify the range, clusters, gaps, and outliers. This one-page learning exercise contains 8 multi-step problems.

Students use given data to compare baseball players. They create box and whisker plots to compare the players and determine which they feel is the best player. Students use calculators to make box and whisker plots. They write paragraphs...

At what point does data switch from being an outlier to part of the average? Scholars view conflicting news articles about protesters. They must decide which, if any, side is using the correct sample to draw their conclusions. It's a...

Should the standard deviation be used for all distributions? Pupils know that the median is a better description of the center for skewed distributions; therefore, they will need a variability measure about the median for those...

How is a mean affected by changes in data? A well-designed animation allows individuals to manipulate data and watch the effect on the mean. Challenge questions help guide users to conclusions about outliers and skew within data.

Students review graphing terminology and how to plot data points, how to input data into a spreadsheet, and how to make a chart using a computer.

Young scholars analyze the nutritional value of breakfast cereal in order to make an informed choice. They create a stem and leaf plot which analyzes the nutritional value of the cereal they eat on a regular basis. Students write a...

Young scholars explore the concept of stem and leaf plots.  In this stem and leaf plots lesson, students plot the 50 US states' capitals on a stem and leaf plot according to the first letter of each state.  Young scholars...

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

Develop a complete understanding of the course. Pupils and teachers use the six free-response questions to gather information about aspects of the AP® Statistics course. The resource and test section show how items cover the content. A...

Investigate the meaning of a sample proportion using this hands-on activity. Scholars collect data and realize that the larger the sample size the more closely the data resembles a normal distribution. They compare the sample proportion...

What is a reasonable percent yield in the manufacturing process? Scholars develop a process for producing chalk in the third activity of a six-part series. Then, they must determine the theoretical and percent yield. Discussions about...

Students analyze Utah's CHIP program. They compares it to other states in terms of benefits and customer satisfaction. They examine how rules and regulations at the federal level shape state-level program operations. They research and...

In this scatterplots worksheet, students construct a scatter plot from a given data set. Students then answer 4 questions regarding the least-squares regression line and making predictions.

For this statistics worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 5 various types of problems related to determining statistics. First, they determine the data set where the median value is equal to the mean value. Then, students determine...

In this stem plot worksheet, learners construct 3 stem plots. Students answer 1 question about outliers and another question regarding which stem plot is preferred.

For this median/mode worksheet, students solve 6 problems, using a table of students and their heights in centimeters. Students find median, mode, outliers and arrange data from least to greatest.

Students define mean, median, mode and outliers. In this statistics instructional activity, students analyze data using the central tendencies. They follow a path through a maze collecting data. They analyze the data using the mean,...

Students identify the mean, quartiles and range of a boxplot. In this statistics lesson, students identify cooperative boxplot as it relates to the data. They make conjectures about students grade distribution.

Young scholars gather data on sports team and create a box and whisper plot. In this data collection lesson, students find the median, the quartile range, and relationships between variables.

Class members investigate relationships between two variables in the seventh installment of a 16-part module that teaches scholars how to find and describe patterns in scatter plots. Young mathematicians consider linear/nonlinear...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.
