Description

In 6th grade students learn the basic foundations of statistics- how to collect, analyze, and discuss data. This project allows students to authentically experience the process.

First, students will create their own statistical questions. They will then collect data to answer their question and organize their data into different displays (Part 1).

Next, students will use measures of center and range to describe their data (Part 2).

Then, students will create a box plot and find the interquartile range of their data (Part 3).

Finally, students will summarize their data using all of the previous parts (Part 4).

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS6.SP.A.1

Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.

CCSS6.SP.A.2

Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.

CCSS6.SP.A.3

Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
