Box and Whisker plots: Understanding, Identifying & Analyzing.
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Box and whisker plots pose many problems for students. They often confuse the length of a quartile for the size of data it includes. After seeing my students struggle with this concept for years (even more-so because they had to analyze the data, not merely create the plot) I came up with this activity. The coloring piece, coupled with the dollar bill comparison made something click. I've used the activity ever since!
**Please note this activity uses the American Dollar Bill as a portion of a lesson. If your students are not familiar with American currency, you may not want to use that portion of the activities provided**
