Creating Box Plots Practice
Share

Description

This practice is a great introduction to box plots with students. The first part of the handout is dedicated to labeling the box plot and defining all associated vocabulary with a large graphic. Students need to be comfortable with the language around box plots, and be able to label one before they can create one or analyze one. Next, there is a guided example and independent example using an even number of data values where students are just expected to find the 5-number summary. Then, there is a guided example and independent example using an odd number of data values, but this time, you create a box plot and complete 3 statements about the box plot.

If you have any other questions or feedback to offer, please contact me!
