A statistical vs. non-statistical question activity to help students determine statistical questions!  This resource includes a worksheet with 20 statistical and non-statistical questions and a teacher answer key.  Determining what makes a statistical question can be tricky for students because they have to decide if there is only one correct answer to the question or if it is expected that there will be a variety of (correct) answers, when asking the question to more than one person.  You can have students work on this independently or turn it into a fun engaging whole group practice.  For whole group practice, you can have students stand and have one side of the room represent statistical and another side represent non-statistical.  Then, the teacher can read the question aloud and students will move to the side of the room that they think is correct.  Have students from each side share why they chose statistical or non-statistical and you may even have some students decide they want to change where they are standing based on their peers' reasoning.  Share the answer after the discussion and have students write down the correct answer on their sheet before moving on to the next question.  This resource is great for your sixth grade math classroom but can also be used in other grade levels.  Teacher answer key is included!
