Beacon Learning Center: All That Data

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

Analyze data using technology. Middle schoolers design data investigations, describe data, and draw their own conclusions. Then they select the best type of graph, graph and interpret the data, and look for patterns in trends. They also...

An inventive lesson shows learners how to collect, organize, and present mathematical data. They access websites which lead them through a variety of ways to engage in data collection. They get to design and create graphs, and present...

Pupils analyze a display of data and review dot plots to make general observations about the highest, lowest, common, and the center of the data. To finish, learners match dot plots to scenarios. 

These four scenarios all contain graphable data; can scholars match them to the correct bar graphs? All the data is in single-digit whole numbers. Some of the scenarios instruct kids to make a graph, while others don't. Clarify...

Add to your collection of math resources with this extensive series of data analysis worksheets. Whether your teaching how to use frequency tables and tally charts to collect and organize data, or introducing young...

Students describe graphs and explore range, measures of central tendency, and distribution in this interactive web lesson.

Represent data graphically. Allow your class to explore different methods of representing data. They create foldables, sing songs, and play a dice game to reinforce the measures of central tendency.

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.
