With this worksheet, students will use sets of data to find the range, interquartile range (IQR), and mean absolute deviation (MAD). They will also determine which measures best describe certain data.
Level:
This anchor chart lays out a detailed overview of what mean, median, mode, and range are, as well as steps to find these values.
Level:
Need a hands-on statistics activity? This packet walks students through an independent statistics project: writing a statistical question to generate numerical data, choosing appropriate displays, describing distribution, analyzing all statistical measures, and more! Alternate version excludes MAD and IQR.
Level:
These vocab cards include important statistics and data analysis terms such as absolute deviation, cluster, distribution, gap, interquartile range, outlier, and many more. Definitions and examples are given for different types of data charts, plots, and graphs as well.
Level:
For both questions on this worksheet, students must interpret line plots and calculate the MAD and mean in order to compare two related data sets. Questions use real-world context.
Level:
This mean absolute deviation worksheet includes practice data sets of varying sizes, from 4 to 8 values each.
Level:
In this statistics cloze activity, students identify when to use median instead of mean (and vice versa), which measures of variation describe which types of data spread, when different measures of center are the same, and other details essential for summarizing data sets.
Level:
This 2-page worksheet presents four scenarios using plain data sets, stem-and-leaf plots, or dot plots. Find each measure -- mean, median, and mode -- then answer a question using the data, such as telling the impact of changing or adding a data values.
Level:
This reference sheet gives definitions and examples of vocabulary words and terms related to analyzing and describing data sets, visual displays of data sets, and general data terms.
Level:
On the first page of this worksheet, students will choose which kind of data display makes most sense for each situation. On the second page, they will choose which measure of center or variability makes sense.
Level:
This anchor chart introduces students to the three most common measures of center: mean, median, and mode. It provides an example and describes the limitations of each measure.
Level:
Learn how to find mean absolute deviation with a data set using a step-by-step breakdown. Then practice calculating the MAD for 6 different sets.
Level:
Worksheet includes mean, median, mode, range, interquartile range (IQR), and mean absolute deviation (MAD). First, identify what the statistical measures summarize: center or variation. Then calculate each kind.
Level:
Learn about the uses and limitations of IQR with this helpful worksheet. Then find Q1, Q2, and Q3 for four sets of values and calculate their interquartile ranges.
Level:
Fill in the blanks with the correct statistics and data vocabulary words to complete the sentences.
