Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will work with a specific issue, such as "What is the size of your family?" They will gather data, organize it into a simple line plot graph, and estimate the mean. Students will work in small groups to determine the results, display the data, and discuss the impact of any outliers. The finished charts can be displayed and differing results discussed. 


2.) Students will determine the range, mode, median, and mean when given a set of data. They will explain what information is given by each of these measures of central tendency. 

Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will complete a small group project. They will determine a question and gather the needed data. The data will be organized and displayed. The range, mean, median, and mode will be discussed when analyzing the data. The effect of any outliers will be discussed.
