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.
