This project was originally used as the final assessment (in place of the one provided by EngageNY / Eureka Math) for the 6th grade statistics unit. It could also be used as a project to do as you move through the material to boost retention and engagement, or as a review for students in 7th grade and high school who are building on this material, especially as emergency sub plans!

The product is built as a digital project, and includes common core alignment and a teacher checklist for use before assigning the assignment. It is designed so that it can be completed as a group project or individually.

The project includes 6 sections:

1. Statistical Question - students will create a quantitative statistical question

2. Data Collection Plan - students will make a plan for collecting their data, including their target audience, how they will present the question, answer format, and survey format; students must obtain teacher approval before beginning their survey

3. Raw Data - students will record their raw data

4. Data Analysis - students will find the mean, median, mode, range, and IQR for their data, and decide which is the "best" measure and why

5. Visual Representation - students will create a box plot (box and whisker plot), dot plot, and histogram, and decide which is the "best" representation and why

6. Lessons Learned - students will write a short paragraph explaining their question, the data they received, the typical response to that question, and what they learned by completed the statistical analysis
