Description
This resource includes detailed step by step notes on how to create a box and whisker plot, a worksheet and an assessment.
The notes include step by step instructions that can be referenced as students study box plots. Students can glue the notes directly into their notebooks. A box and whisker plot visual is used to display the four quartiles of data. As students complete each step, they will determine the five-number summary used to create a box and whisker plot. The guided notes address how to calculate the lower quartile and upper quartile if there is an even number of numbers. The interquartile range is also noted.
In addition to the notes, there is a guided practice problem that can be glued into the notebook as well. Students will explore the weights of twelve different cats to create a box and whisker plot. The practice problem has students explore an outlier and how that changes the look of the box and whisker plot.
There are two additional practice pages that can be used in a variety of ways. The three problems involving box and whisker plots include: the number of pets in a household, newborn baby weights and Olympic medals for swimmers and gymnasts. Students are asked to make conclusions about the two sets of data provided on Olympic medals.
Finally, there is a two page assessment on box and whisker plots. Students are asked to create two box and whisker plots on the same number line. Following this, there are nine questions about the box and whisker plots.
Answer keys are provided for all of the resources.

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:
CCSS7.SP.B.3
Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
