Determine whether the type of data described is qualitative or quantitative. This worksheet includes definitions for qualitative and quantitative data that students can refer to to help them complete the activity.
6th and 7th Grades
aQualitative vs. Quantitative Data
Flex your statistics skills with this real-world context worksheet! Each question presents a problem or situation, such as not wanting to overpay for services. Students must write a statistical question to generate quantitative data useful to the situation.
6th and 7th Grades
aCollecting Quantitative Data
Statistical questions can generate quantitative or numeric data as well as qualitative or categorical data. On this printable statistics worksheet, students must write a question of each type for every listed topic.
6th and 7th Grades
aCollecting Quantitative & <br>Qualitative Data

Visual Displays of Data

This worksheet shows 8 types of data displays. Students will identify each one by writing the correct term from the word bank. This worksheet includes a bar graph, frequency table, box plot, histogram, circle graph, line graph, dot plot, and stem-and-leaf plot.
6th and 7th Grades
aIdentifying Types of Data Displays
Accurately describe 7 dot plots using statistical vocabulary. Count the number of data points, calculate range, and estimate the center of data on the second page of the worksheet.
6th Grade
aDescribing Data Distributions<br>(Line Plots)
Use statistical terms like gaps, skews, clusters, and symmetry to describe a series of histograms with the free histogram worksheet.
6th and 7th Grades
aDescribing Data Distributions<br>(Histograms)
Use the given line plots and histograms to describe the data shown.
6th and 7th Grades
aDescribing Data Distributions: <br>Line Plots & Histograms
Each task card in this set features either a line plot or histogram. Students must look at the data distribution shown and determine which of three given statements is accurate.
6th Grade
aTask Cards: Line Plots and Histograms
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.
6th and 7th Grades
aMaking Choices About Data

Statistics Project

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.
6th and 7th Grades
aBecome a Statistician <br>(Data-Gathering Report)

Vocabulary

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.
6th and 7th Grades
aStatistics and Data Analysis Vocabulary Cards
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.
6th and 7th Grades
aReference Sheet: Statistics and Data Analysis Terms
Fill in the blanks with the correct statistics and data vocabulary words to complete the sentences.
6th and 7th Grades
aStatistics and Data Analysis Vocabulary Cloze

Samples & Populations

Each question on this worksheet describes a situation and then asks the students choose either the sample or population that is described. The page includes a description and example students can refer to if they need a reminder of the difference between populations and samples.
6th and 7th Grades
aPopulations and Samples (Multiple Choice)
Reinforce students' understanding of population and sample with this worksheet. Students will read about a situation and identify both the population and the sample described.
6th and 7th Grades
aIdentifying Populations & Samples
Read each situation and identify the population. This worksheet helps students learn to distinguish between population and sample.
6th and 7th Grades
aIdentifying Population
Read examples of samples and decide whether they're likely to be representative or not. If they're not, decide whether the issue is with sample size, sampling method, or both.
6th and 7th Grades
aRepresentative Samples
Determine whether samples described are likely to be representative of their populations or not. This worksheet includes a description of random and biased samples.
6th and 7th Grades
aRepresentative Samples: Random vs. Biased
With this worksheet, students will practice identifying whether a sample is random or biased. The top of the worksheet offers a brief explanation students can reference to help them complete the assignment.
6th and 7th Grades
aIdentifying Random and Biased Samples

Measures of Center and Variability

Use this printable statistics reference sheet to help students differentiate between and calculate three measures of variation: range, interquartile range, and mean absolute deviation. Includes models and explanations of each measure's limitations.
6th and 7th Grades
aMeasures of Variability: Reference Sheet
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.
6th and 7th Grades
aSummarizing Data Cloze
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.
6th and 7th Grades
aFinding Measures of Center and Variability
Students using this worksheet will determine whether range, mean, median, mode, and interquartile range (IQR) are measures of center or variability. Then they will find one of these measures for each of the given data sets.
6th and 7th Grades
aIdentifying and Finding<br>Measures of Center & Variability
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.
6th and 7th Grades
aFinding Measures of Center
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.
6th and 7th Grades
aFinding Measures of Variability
