Statistics Projects: Collecting Authentic Data for Graphing and Analysis

Engage your students in Statistics. Students generate their own statistical question and then collect authentic data to graph, calculate and reflect upon the results. This is a great activity for a Back to School Project! It works well as a stand-alone Statistics project anytime during the year. This project aligns well to Common Core Standards for Math.

Included in this package are:

-measures of center (mean, median, mode)

-range

-bar and line graphing

-data collections

-reflective questions for both pre and post tasks

-extensive teacher guide including model lessons for whole class walk through

-rubric for tasks

-summative test and answer key is included

This project provides a Statistical ‘snapshot’ of the class through numerical data. This unit is ready to use (no prep required).
