This AP Statistics Card Sort Activity is an interactive way for students to practice describing and comparing one-variable quantitative data. Instead of a worksheet, students engage in hands-on learning by matching graphs, numerical summaries (mean, median, mode, IQR, standard deviation), and distribution characteristics.

Perfect for a portion of the AP Stats Unit 1 (Exploring One-Variable Data), this card sort helps students build deeper understanding of shape, center, spread, and unusual features while promoting collaboration and critical thinking. It can be used as review, partner practice, a warm-up, or even a formative assessment.

✅ What’s Included

* Printable card sets with graphs and summary statistics

* Each of the 8 different sets include 4 cards consisting of a dotplot, histogram,

boxplot, and summary statistics that need to be matched together

* A complete answer key for easy grading or self-checking

Topics Covered

✔ Interpreting Graphical Displays (dotplots, histograms, stemplots, boxplots)

✔ Measures of Center (mean, median, mode)

✔ Measures of Spread (IQR, standard deviation, range)

✔ Identifying Shape, Outliers, and Variability

✔ Matching Data Representations to Descriptions

✂️ Preparation Tips:

* Use single-sided printing

* Use card stock or laminate your cards for longer use

* Copy as many sets as you need for the individuals, pairs, or groups in your

class.

* Kindly ask your spouse, partner, or student aide/page (if you're lucky

enough to have one) to carefully cut out the cards for you.

* Make sure to MIX UP the cards well in each set as they are printed with

each set of four cards already grouped together.
