Real-Life Math Fun Data, Statistics Collection Activity- make Real-Life Choices!
By Daniel
This classroom tried and tested data and statistics activity helps students to see the benefit of gathering their own quantitative and qualitative data to make real-life choices. We have all wondered - which water container should I buy? Are the expensive water containers really that much better? Students compare 4 water containers quantitatively for how effectively they keep water warm and cold. They also compare them qualitatively, looking at price, durability, design and other subjective measures.
This resource works great as ...
- a task
- a class project (it takes roughly a week)
- distance learning
- math centers
- constructive group work when introducing the topic of data and statistics.
And, Now with the Olympic Games just gone by, you must get these other activities for Data and Stats as well!

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! Exciting Data and Stats Activity - Why so many white cars?
By Daniel
It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students.
This DIY hands-on project takes students through the process of collecting, sharing, representing and analyzing qualitative data. Students collect data on the brand, color and type of cars and then present their data in bar and circle graphs.
- Why are there so many white cars on the road?
- Why are some roads full of potholes?
- Which brand of car is the most popular in my town?
I have done this project multiple times, have "ironed out any administrative wrinkles" in the practical application of the project and it works every time. Students have a lot fun with the project. They take ownership of the project, since they collect the data themselves.
Qualitative Data, Bar Graphs, Line Graph, Circle Graph, Pie Chart, Statistics, Data, Histogram, Line Graph, Box-and-Whiskers Plot, Stem-and-Leaf Plot.
You might also not want to miss out on these other resources in the Series on Stats and Data!

Decimal Multiplication Math - Cotton Candy Stand - Project Based Learning
By E•Fish•ient Teaching
Are you looking for a fun way to practice multiplication, subtraction, and addition with decimals? Then look no further! This is an engaging activity for all students. This is a fun math project to practice multiplication with decimals. Students will get to put their math skills into practice in a real life situation. They will create a mock cotton candy stand where they will have to be in charge of buying their product, figuring out how much each customer owes, and how much they will profit. This activity lets each student set up their own cotton candy stand, so all their answers may differ. At the end of the activity students will determine if their cotton candy stand was successful, whether they made a big enough profit to do it again.
This activity has students practice multiplying, dividing, and subtracting numbers with decimals.
What's included:
- A letter to the teacher explaining the task.
- A letter to the students (business owner) explaining their task.
- A page for students to create their own sign for their shop.
- The product page, where students will pick what products they will buy.
- Hourly sales page (There are two options) One will break it down for each step and there is another page that is more challenging for your higher math students to stretch their thinking and not lay out each step explicitly.
- A total sales sheet with reflection questions.
- A social media post for students to create.
The best part? Students have autonomy over their own cotton candy stand. Let them have the reins of their learning. It allows for math practice and a little creativity.
Get creative in the classroom and have your students apply real world math. Show them where they might use multiplication, addition, and subtraction of decimals. Get rid of the boring old math worksheets and let your students create their own little business.
What other teachers are saying:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Anaida W. says, "Fantastic math project! Engaging and full of great questions for students. Thanks."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐Just Another Smith says, "Oh my! I love this activity! It was perfect for basic arithmetic reinforcement for my students. I loved that the activity has a mix of fixed tasks but also some open ended elements so that the students had some choice and creativity. I really enjoy giving my students real-world tasks and felt like this was right at their level. The instructions were clear and there were also some choices for me with built in differentiation."
These are ready to use, just print them out and get started. This could be a great lesson to leave for a substitute as it is no prep!
