Animal Brains
Do big bodies make big brains? Let your learners decide whether there is an association between body weight and brain weight by putting the data from different animals into a scatterplot. They can remove any outliers and then make a line...

Leveled Problem Solving: Range and Outliers
In this range and outliers worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they examine data then identify outliers, find the upper and lower quartile ranges, find the interquartile range and create box-and-whisker plots.
Curated OER
Range, Cluster, Gap and Outliers
There are a number of activities here where learners collect and record data, as well as, activities where the likelihood of an event happening is calculated given the experimental probability. Young statisticians organize information...
Curated OER
Mean, Median and Mode
Young statisians work with sets of data. They find mean, median and mode, and discuss the effects of outliers on the data set.
Curated OER
Interpreting and Displaying Sets of Data
Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...
Curated OER
Finding Patterns
In this finding patterns learning exercise, students analyze the 6 numbers in a box. Students put an X on the number that does not belong and write the others in a pattern. There are 4 questions on the page.
Curated OER
Data Analysis and Probability
Students make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and graph the...
Curated OER
Line Plots and Outliers
In this line plots and outliers instructional activity, students analyze a table that shows the number of miles run by a girl over a period of days. Students determine if there is an outlier in the data and answer 3 questions.
Curated OER
Multiply Boxplots
Students identify the mean, quartiles and range of a boxplot. In this statistics lesson, students identify cooperative boxplot as it relates to the data. They make conjectures about students grade distribution.

Using a Statistical Procedure To Search A Database For Out of the Ordinary Values
Young scholars develop a spreadsheet containing formulas and find summaries for them. In this investigative lesson students choose a topic, investigate it and use MS Excel to sort data.
Curated OER
Scatterplots
In this scatterplots worksheet, students construct a scatter plot from a given data set. Students then answer 4 questions regarding the least-squares regression line and making predictions.
Curated OER
Statistics
In this statistics activity, 9th graders solve and complete 5 various types of problems related to determining statistics. First, they determine the data set where the median value is equal to the mean value. Then, students determine the...
