Nctm: Illuminations: Mean and Median Box and Whisker Plotter

The teacher demonstrates how to use a graphing calculator to create box-and-whisker plots and identify critical points. Small groups then create their own plots and analyze them and finish by comparing different sets of data using box...

In this box-and-whisker plots worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 14 different problems that include comparing various box-and-whisker plots. First, they determine the median for each set of data and plot the lesser range. Then,...

This thirteen page data analysis activity contains a number of interesting problems regarding statistics. The activities cover the concepts of average measurements, standard deviation, box and whisker plots, quartiles, frequency...

In this bar graphs and line graphs learning exercise, students interpret bar graphs, line graphs, and box-and-whisker plots.  They find the measures of central tendency.  This three-page learning exercise contains notes,...

Elucidating the concept of box-and-whisker plots, Sal explains not only how to generate the diagram but also how to read one. He uses several examples to help young mathematicians become familiar with the format and explains its...

Whiskers are more than just a cat facial feature! Learn how the whiskers of a box-and-whisker help make conclusions about a data set. An instructor first explains how to create a box-and-whisker and then how to read it. Several examples...

This applet allows the user to investigate the mean, median, and box-and-whisker plot for a set of data that they create.

Whiskers are not just for cats! Pupils create box-and-whisker plots from given data sets. They analyze the data using the graphs as their guide.
