Upper grade and middle schoolers collect data, analyze and interpret the data. This three-part lesson should provide learners with a firm understanding about the differences between mean, median, and mode and how to perform the...

In this data and statistics instructional activity, students find the mean, median, mode, and range of 4 different sets of data. Next, students solve 1 word problem where they find the mean.

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Young scholars use data to make a tally chart and a line plot. They find the maximum, minimum, range, median, and mode of the data. Following the video portion of the lesson plan, students will visit a Web site to test their data...

Pupils participate in a WebQuest in which they must determine which amusement park is the "median priced" park. Students visit park websites to accumulate prices for parking, activities, restaurants, and gift shops.

Young scholars explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of...

In this triangles activity, students identify the median, altitude, segment, angle bisector, perpendicular bisector and triangle midsegment of triangles.  They find the perimeter of triangles.  This three-page activity...

High schoolers calculate the altitude of triangles.  In the web based lesson, students explore the interior distance from a given point in a polygon to its side.  They compute the sum of these lengths. High schoolers read...

In this geometry worksheet, learners identify the altitude, perpendicular bisector, median, angle bisector and the area of different polygons. There are 33 problems.

Fifth graders determine the meaning of mean, median, mode, and range. In this measures of central tendency lesson, 5th graders show their ability to find the mean, median, range, and mode of a data set. They use a class set of birthday...

Learners study weather using a graphing calculator in this lesson. They collect data for temperature and relative humidity for every hour over a day from the newspaper, then place the data in their handheld calculator and examine it for...

Pupils examine the centroid of a triangle as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and its medians. The dynamic nature of the software allows learners to measure the lengths of the segments in the triangle and conjecture and verify...

In this average, mode and median worksheet, students learn how to determine each of these values and practice finding all three. They are given a table of different falcon flight speeds and they calculate the average, mode and median for...

In this excellent stem and leaf plotter instructional activity, students construct, arrange and write a report of how to interpret the leaves they collect in this data analysis. Students answer 4 detailed questions regarding the data...

In this data analysis instructional activity, students access an online data analysis tool at the given web site. They collect name length data for classmates and enter it into the tool. The find and manipulate the data to determine how...

In this data management and probability applications worksheet, 8th graders solve 20 various types of probability problems. They find the mean, median, mode and range of various numbers. Then, students use the spinner illustration to...

Students model and solve a real-world problem by constructing the centroid of a triangle. They explore relationships of the medians of a triangle and investigate how the centroid partitions each of the medians. Students investigate...

Seventh graders examine the uses of mean, median, and mode. They define key vocabulary terms, observe the teacher model examples of mean, median, and mode, and discuss real world examples of central tendency of sets of data. Students...

Third graders review important vocabulary to explain measures of central tendency and reaction time. In pairs, they measure reaction time of dropping and catching a ruler. Data is collected after repeated catches and information is...

Young scholars identify the special segments of triangles, the median, angle bisector, altitude, and perpendicular bisectors.

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.

Students, using small individual bags of M&Ms, engage in activities including; estimating, sorting, graphing, mean, median, mode, fractions, percentage, and averaging.

Students must surf the Internet to find out how much it cost for his or her family to go to amusement parks in California.

As an introductory activity, young statisticians measure their heart rate at rest and after exercise and compute the mean and median, and create a box & whisker plot.  This is followed by watching a video (that no longer seems...
