Real-Life Math Fun Activity! Practical Stats - Do tall students jump high?
By Daniel
It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students, and this is right up there with the most essential!
Do tall students jump high and far? Do the same students jump high and far? Students collect their own quantitative data to answer these and other questions. The data collection does not take long. Afterwards, students calculate the measures of central tendency - mean, median, mode, Q1, Q3, min, max, range and upper and lower outliers (extremes). The handout (with complete answer key for the teacher) contains the formulas students need in order to do all calculations.
This project has been tried, tested and refined in my own middle and high school classes for many years.
Quantitative Data, Measures of Central Tendency, Mean, Median, Mode, Quartile 1, Quartile 3, Interquartile Range, Outliers, Extremes, Data, Project, Range, Minimum, Maximum.

Real-Life Math Fun!Pre-Algebra Quant Data, Evaluate Measures of Central Tendency
By Daniel
It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students, and this is right up there with the most essential!
This data and statistics project is a fun practical, real-life way to analyze and compare data by making use of real-life data, statistics and plots like a box-and-whisker and a scatter plot. Refresh the concepts of mean, median, mode, range, 1st quartile, 3rd quartile, outliers, minimum, maximum by comparing how high and how far students in 2 different classes jumped.
This project is tried, tested and refined over many years in my own middle and high school classrooms. It breathes new life into topics that will be stale, boring and old if not done in a real-life way. Students will be able to debate and defend certain viewpoints using the data and their own analysis of it.
Data, Statistics, Box-and-Whisker Plot, Box Plot, Scatter Plot, Mean, Median, Mode, Range, Quartile 1, Quartile 3, Minimum, Maximum, Inter-Quartile Range, Outliers, Correlation, Positive Correlation, Negative Correlation, Correlation Coefficient, Line of best fit.
