Make statistics review fun and engaging with this Statistics Color by Number activity! Students will solve a variety of data analysis problems and use their answers to color a picture—revealing a fun final design as they work.

This activity combines math practice with creativity, helping students stay motivated while reinforcing important statistics concepts. As students solve for mean, median, mean absolute deviation (MAD), interquartile range (IQR), and interpret data sets, they’ll color each section according to their answers.

Perfect for keeping students focused and excited about math while still practicing essential skills!
