This final assessment covers topics from a data and statistics unit at the middle school level. The project covers such topics as histograms, bar graphs, circle graphs, line plots, scatter plots, misleading graphs, measures of center (mean, median, mode)and any vocabulary from the unit. The project directions give the students two choices of activities for each of the topics listed above to complete as a final assessment. For example, the section that checks for their proficiency of circle graphs gives them the option to create a circle graph or to find a circle graph and analyze it. A scoring guide is also attached. **I have updated this lesson by including a second project that I put together for my students this year. It involves them conducting a survey and using a variety of displays and analysis of their data. This project also comes with a scoring guide.

I have been teaching 7th and 8th graders mathematics in a public school setting since 1999. I also take part teaching incoming 8th graders in a "math institute" each summer.
