By Daniel
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!

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.

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.
