========================
How does the bar graph/median/mode/range activity work?
The teacher will laminate the eleven lollipops. Each colored lollipop states how many lollipops Little Lucy ate over an 11 day period.
Students will pull the lollipops one by one from a bag. They will add the information to a chart showing how many she ate each day.
They are then instructed to line the lollipops up and find the median, mode, and range of the numbers. Definitions for those terms are given.
They then take the information and put it on a bar graph.
This can be a partner activity, individual, or center activity for a small group. Use it in your class however you would like.
