Purpose: The purpose of this course is to provide math students with engaging instruction on data and statistics through distance learning.  This is an introductory course to data and statistics and meets 5th and 6th grade standards. Goals:  Differentiate between statistical and non-statistical questions Develop a basic understanding of measures of center and variationIdentify and select appropriate graphical displaysApply data and statistics knowledge to a real-world situationCourse HighlightsI

Students are given the chance to show how Data and Statistics are seen in their daily lives. Data is everywhere! This project allows for their creativity and choice to showcase how math applies in real life. Great for distance and eLearning through Google Classroom! A rubric is included.

Prior to assigning this quick project, you need to poll the students and ask them how many hours they have worked on school work for the week. I used Google Classroom and created a question and asked the students to answer honestly. Compile the students' data in the table labeled "Number of hours spent on school work last week" on slide 2. Students create a graph (line plot is the correct graph to choose unless you have a large number of data then they can choose to make a histogram) to repres

The information provided is a guide to giving your students some freedom and choice in a project based on seeing the value of education in their future.

Enjoy making circle graphs, box and whisker plots, review questions with fun Halloween themes!

One day I realized that pumpkins look much like a circle graph from the bottom or the top, so I created this notebook file to go along with a Halloween activity. The students love the activity, which asks them opinion questions for the statistics and teaches them how to graph an ACCURATE circle graph. ENJOY!

This notebook file can be used on its own or with the box and whisker mask activity worksheet that is also on my page. It is interactive and breaks down box and whisker plots for middle school students with a fun activity!

This is especially fun around Halloween, but can be done anytime of the year. Students use a basic piece of statistical data (I like to use the shoe sizes of the students) to record data, and find the parts of the box and whisker plots. Finally, we plot the data on a paper mask (preferably an animal with whiskers), using the box and whisker plot as the "whiskers" on the animal mask. You can use Popsicle sticks or string to secure them or just display them in the hallway!
