Did you just finish a unit on the different types of ways to display statistical data? This is a great project for you! Using a professional sports team, students use the quantitative data of height or weight of players to create data displays and interpret their data.

The project can be modified for the middle school (i.e., mean, median, mode, and range) or high school level (i.e., skewness, standard deviation, and outlier fences).

Data display choices include dot plots, histograms, line graphs, stem-and-leaf plots, or box-and-whisker plots. If you'd like to include pie charts and bar graphs, categorical data must be included instead of a quantitative measure.

This project (if only worked on in class) can take 3 - 5 days depending on your class period length. For me, I had a 90 block and the students needed 3.5 days to complete the project.

Aside from creating the data displays, there are questions that the students need to answer. Additional questions can be added.

A grading rubric is also included! Feel free to modify to your preferences.
