3-5
Students choose meals from a menu and then construct a box plot. They use the plot to identify the mean, mode, median and range of the data set.
3-5
Students will construct box plots independently. Students identify the mean, median, mode, and range of a set of data.
3-5
Students create bar graphs and find the range and mode of a set of data. They explore the relationship of vowels to consonants in their names.
3-5
Students create bar graphs and circle graphs and find the range and mode of two data sets.
3-5
Students create pictographs and answer questions about the data set.
3-5
Students create a box and whisker plot and compare the mean, median, and mode of a set of data.
3-5
Students create glyphs based on the characteristics of their names. They also enter data into a spreadsheet and sort it in several ways.
3-5
Students create graphs based on the characteristics of the names of the 50 States, and find mean, median, mode, and range of the data.
6-8
In this lesson, students will compare the price of a toll to the distance traveled. Students will investigate data numerically and graphically to determine the per-mile charge, and they will predict the cost if a new tollbooth were added along the route.
3-5, 6-8
Students will play
Sticks and Stones, a game based on the Apache
game "Throw Sticks," which was played at multi-nation celebrations.
Students will collect data, investigate the likelihood of various
moves, and use basic ideas of expected value to determine the average
number of turns needed to win a game.
