What educators are saying
This is a great hands on activity where kids will collect their own data and create graphs. Its a wonderful activity for hands on learning.
Description
This is a hands-on lab that teaches about Statistical Questions, Data Displays (dot/line plot, histograms, box plots) and Measures of Center (mean, median, mode, and range). The lab includes notes pages, examples with answer keys, and a final project in which the student can survey classmates and create a "flower" by using their data to find mean, median, mode, range.

Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.

CCSS6.SP.B.4
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
CCSS6.SP.B.5
Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
