Stem-and-Leaf Plot Story Problems
These silly stem-and-leaf plot story problems will have students laughing as they make assumptions about their data.
It was a fun task to assign for students after we covered stem-and-leaf plots in class.

Graphing, Math, Statistics
Mean, Median, Mode, and Outliers Challenge
These problems combine logic; critical thinking skills; and calculation of mean, median, and mode to solve the required problems.
Throwing numbers at students and having them calculate the mean, median, and mode is redundant and mundane. Spice up statistical calculations with these fun problems. I always use my students' names and it makes them laugh when they read the prompts.

Tree Diagram with Fast Food
Students will determine which fast food restaurant offers more meal choices by designing tree diagrams.
Before the activity begins, I always have my students take a vote on which one they believe will have more choices and why.
