Do Math Better

In 6th grade students learn the basic foundations of statistics- how to collect, analyze, and discuss data. This project allows students to authentically experience the process. First, students will create their own statistical questions. They will then collect data to answer their question and organize their data into different displays (Part 1). Next, students will use measures of center and range to describe their data (Part 2). Then, students will create a box plot and find the interquartil

Using playing cards as manipulatives students can work together to figure out how to create box plots with 7,8,9,10, or 11 cards.

Students must simplify each expression to generate the points that will create the mystery picture.
