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.

The Olympic Games is over, but, this activity will fit in perfectly to show children the Real-Life Mathematics application of data.

This product involves the real-life application of the mathematics of data, statistics, linear equations and substitution. It can be used as a(n) ...

• task for practice
• real-life practical application of linear equations
• assessment exercise
• challenging group work exercise to introduce data, statistics and lines of best fit

Students get to obtain the line of best fit for 4 different world records. They use these lines to make predictions of when these records will reach certain milestones. They also make exciting predictions of what the record for these events will be in the year 2050.

Also make sure that you include these next 2 products, as they also relate to the Games!

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!

The Olympic Games have finished, and a perfect time to get your kids interested in how records are met and predicted.

Real-Life Data and Statistics is most interesting for students. In this fun, DIY Task, (with complete key), students study the men's 400M hurdles world record from 1908 tot 2021. They have to

• plot the data on the coordinate plane
• draw a bar graph of the data
• calculate the rate of improvement from one record to the next
• voice their opinion (backed up with facts) on which record was the best.

You might also not want to miss out on these resources in the Series on the Olympic Games!

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.

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.
