Because there was so much vocabulary associated with the stats unit, I did a vocab quiz at the same time, they were learning the class material to help them gain a better u

Students come up with their own statistical question, collect data from their classmates and complete a frequency table, dot plot, box plot and mean, median and mode questions based on the data they collected.

Get two different cereals, have kids take a handful, collect data and create a box plot. A fun way to get kids involved with their math learning with a "not so fun" topic. Students get a sweet treat and apply what they know to create a box plot at the same time.
