The Math Forum: Data Collecting Project Stats Class

This lesson plan provides the teacher with all the necessary handouts and directions to give a statistics class when they are ready to complete a thorough survey project. Broken into five parts, it takes the students through the collection, organization, and presentation parts of the process. Students need to be familiar with terms and concepts such as skewed histograms, Chebyshev's Theorem, and Inter-Quartile Range in order to complete this project effectively.
