This independent activity gives 6th grade students a chance to explore and make sense of box plots using real data from sea turtle weights. Students will practice identifying parts of a box plot—like the median, quartiles, and range—while comparing different data sets. It’s a fun way to connect math to the real world and can be used for independent or partner work, as a warm-up, or extra practice. This activity is an easy, low-prep way for teachers to check students’ understanding of box plots.
