Nearpod: Displaying Data: Box Plots

Scholars apply the concepts of box plots and dot plots to summarize and describe data distributions. They use the data displays to compare sets of data and determine numerical summaries. 

Don't just think outside of the box — read outside of it! The 15th instructional activity in a 22-part unit provides pupils more work with box plots. Learners read the box plots to estimate the five-number summary and interpret it within...

Place the data in a box. Pupils experiment with placing dividers within a data set and discover a need for a systematic method to group the data. The 14th activity in a series of 22 outlines the procedure for making a box plot based...

Box in the similarities and differences. The 19th lesson in a unit of 22 presents class members with multiple box plots to compare. Learners use their understanding of five-number summaries and box plots to find similarities and...

Box and whiskers have more to do with data than they do with cats! A video lesson describes how to plot, analyze, and compare box plots. Mathematicians first learn to create a box plot and then how to use information about the quartiles...

In this lesson, students will learn how to create and intrepret dot plots.

Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

Stacked box plots create an informative visual display. Using a video lesson, scholars compare data from box plots plotted on the same number line. They use both the visual display and the key intervals to make conclusions.

More practice making box plots to summarize data sets. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice reading information presented in box plots. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
