Does name brand mean more chocolate chips? That is the question that fuels this entire statistical investigation! Students gather chip data from actual cookies, analyzing and graphing it along the way. By the end of the investigation, students will have explored mean, median, mode, range, back-to-back stem-and-leaf plots, double bar graphs, box-and-whisker plots, and the idea of estimating. All cookies involved will be destroyed... but it's all worth it!

This activity has been around for a long time, but the formatting of the investigation as students build box and whisker plots is excellent. My students had fun and understood the concepts etter than just using word problems as in the past. We even had math discussions on what really statistically signifies the better cookie - number or quality of chips!
