Statistics Activities

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!

This is a very engaging activity that gets all students thinking and talking about the mean, median, mode, range and the shape of distributions. I use this activity the day after covering mean, median, mode, range, and skewed right/left.

Each student chooses an envelope out of 3 color choices. For example, they can choose from yellow, red, or blue envelopes.​

​

Each "round" one piece of information is revealed and students are allowed to trade their envelopes with each other with the goal of ending up with the highest number. ​

​

The pieces of information they can choose to be revealed are the mean, median, mode, range, and shape of the distribution. ​As more information is revealed they have more opportunities to trade, using the information provided to determine the best color to have at the end.

Check out my Data Displays Card Match to help students make connections between dot plots, histograms, stem and leaf plots, and box plots.

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.

This activity offers a different way to teach tally and pie charts. Students choose 20 fruit cards from the fruit deck (or any amount you choose from the 45 cards if you wish to make things more challenging). We recommend that 20 cards offers the most interesting collection to work with, while also being a factor of 360.

Students collect the data of their chosen cards and write it on the tally sheet. On the same sheet is a column for working out the number of degrees needed for constructing the pie chart. Two pie chart sheets are included, one with the key in colour, and one with the key ready for colouring. Alternatively, get students to construct the pie chart from scratch in their books or a separate piece of paper.

The nature of this activity means that each student should, in theory, produce their own pie chart, unique from other students in the class.

Calculate the mean from a list of data. All answers correct to 1 decimal place

Instructions

• Print off the twenty question pages and put them up around the room

• Each question is in the middle of the page and the solution is at the top of another page.

• A student begins on a given question, solves it and finds the answer on another sheet. The question on this sheet will be the next question they answer. Once they have answered all twenty, they will return to their starting question

• Depending on numbers, students can all start on different questions

• There is a student answer sheet included plus the correct sequence

Having trouble visualizing how to "break down" math concepts and how to structure your teaching? New to this grade level or unfamiliar with "how" to teach it? Tired of passing out worksheets? If you're wanting to try something else to see if your students become more engaged and confident in math... Look no further. No book? No problem. Printer broken? No problem. Multi-levelled or split classrooms? No problem.

Imagine math classes that require zero prep, zero paper, zero planning, and slides which not only prompt your students to engage, discuss, solve and prove their understanding, but prompt you to teach concepts at a slow, realistic pace! Imagine not having to write down examples on your board and having more time to assess your students in real time. This document does just that.

This is one my paperless teaching products; where my 89-page Slide Deck will take your hand and guide you to teach following a workshop model. I provide ample explanations, examples, step-by-step instruction, assessment and answer keys. This is EXHAUSTIVE! At the end of this document, you'll find 45 pages of printable activities which can be used for assessment, revision, activities to leave with a substitute teacher.

This was created (and used!) for students in grades 5-7 and works great for older students on IEPs, students en adaptation scolaire, as revision for older grades, or for online learning. Partner work and independent work are imbedded in the slides. Students receive many guided explanations so they can work independently.

Let me teach you - and your students - how charts and data work and how to interpret and analyze statistics. This resource is 50% Slide Deck and 50% printable activities.

• The Slide Deck has been beautified and is loaded with practice, examples, conversation-starters, small group work and whole group discussions. In your Slide Deck, you will have access to:
  • A collaborative revision and check-in or their prior knowledge relating to charts.
  • Why we use charts, and the purpose they serve.
  • The elements of a "good" chart and how to tick off those boxes!
  • Analysis of "bad" charts.
  • Interpreting charts based on numbers.
  • How to analyse a chart for specific information (counting participants by category and total, finding preferences or "favorites," pinpointing specific values, etc).
  • A look at contemporary surveys and careers in surveying.
  • A whole-group co-constructed survey and data representation activity on sandwich preferences.
  • Guided teaching on the construction of a chart including all elements with step-by-step instructions.
  • An in-depth look at making a diagram precise and accurate (i.e. equally spaced scales on the x and y axes, how to represent "0" and how to represent data that fall "in between" the scale values.
  • An explanation on counting values and totals.
  • A collaborative, discussion-based activity on how charts would change if there were added values, added categories, etc.
  • Independent practice creating a bar chart using data about cereal preferences.
  • A partner activity on comparing charts.
  • A look into other types of charts (line charts, broken line charts, pie charts).
  • An explanation for continuous and discrete data.
  • A simple game on continuous and discrete data (with answer keys imbedded in the slides for self-correction).
  • A look into axis breaks.

In addition to the 45 pages of teachable content, games and guided instruction, there are 43 printable activities and answer keys, including :

• 5 math situations where students create diagrams based on data and answer questions to deepen their understanding. Among these situations, you'll find:

  • A survey on electrical and gas-powered vehicles ;
  • A survey about pets and kindergarteners ;
  • A scholarly debate about field trips ;
  • A look into the growth of a plant over 10 weeks ;
  • A study into temperature changes.

• 11 authentic (yet fictional!) real-life situations to interpret data within diagrams. Among these activities, you'll find:

  • "Sandwichs préférés des profs à l'école Paul-Martin"
  • "Vote à l'échelle - président du conseil étudiant"
  • "Températures à l'école la semaine passée"
  • "Céréales préférées des élèves de la 3e année"

The Median can be a difficult concept for students to master. A relevant approach to teaching the statistical value of the Median is to have students determine the High and Low temperatures of the weather for a week. To facilitate this, a worksheet has been designed as an easy way to integrate extra practice during Bell Ringers or Warm-Up activities.

This digital and printable activity is designed specifically for 8th-grade students. This resource offers an approach to practicing scatter plots through a variety of hands-on and self-checking activities.

What’s Included:

• Reference Guide: A clear and concise reference page that provides students with the foundational concepts and vocabulary needed to master transformations.
• 20 Varied Problems: A collection of 20 interactive problems that encourage students to apply their knowledge.
• Digital Convenience: All activities are available in a digital format, allowing for immediate feedback and fostering a self-paced learning environment.
• Printable Handouts: For traditional classroom settings or homework assignments, printable handouts are included to complement the digital experience.
• Detailed Solutions: Complete solutions are provided for each problem, ensuring that students can check their work and teachers can facilitate discussions with ease.

Perfect for:

• practicing,
• homework,
• reviewing material,
• an emergency substitute lesson plan!

Since this activity is online (interactive pages) there is very little prep; just provide the link, and off they go! There are no locks to configure or clues to hide—everything you need is online. No Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams logins are necessary.

Are you tired of teaching each data display in isolation? Use this card sort to help your students see the connections between the four representations of data: box plots, histograms, stem and leaf plots and dot plots.

There are 15 sets of cards to match with 3 different displays of the same data in each match. Students will attend to the range, spread, median, mode and variability to tell which displays represent the same data sets.

Questions to prompt student thinking and discussion questions/slides are included.
