6th Grade Statistics Independent Work Packet
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.

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!
