Best Real Life Math Task for Data and Statistics - Outliers Mean Median IQR
By Daniel
A brilliant Real-Life activity that will cement the subject matter in a way that no normal classroom Math exercise can!
This 12-page task and key is a DIY alternative to repetitive and boring Data and Statistics tasks. Students will use measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion to make real life choices about planting certain crops or not, which sports team will win a game given the weight and height of the players, etc. The product improves students' understanding of the use of the following statistics:
- mean
- median
- mode
- range
- quartile 1
- quartile 3
- Inter-Quartile Range
- Lower Outlier
- Higher Outlier
From 7th Grade math, I hardly teach these topics any more, since students know them well by now. I give them these tasks, and it takes them 2 to 3 days to complete.
You may also find these equally interesting, especially now with the Olympics!
