What educators are saying
I used this one-page handout as a homework assignment. Two types of plots on one page was exactly what I needed mid-unit. Thanks for putting on TpT!
This worksheet hit all the important pieces for dot plots and box plots. It was exactly what I was looking for and my students were thoroughly engaged throughout their time working on this worksheet.

Description
Practice creating dot plots and box & whiskers plots with this statistics activity.
Students are given scores for 2 basketball teams. They use the data to create a dot plot (or line plot) for each team and then a box and whiskers diagram for each team.
Then, they compare the data of the teams.
A bonus question asks students to calculate the mean absolute deviation.
This worksheet can lead to great discussions about how to analyze box and whisker diagrams and make comparisons!

Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS6.SP.B.4
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
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.
CCSS7.SP.B.4
Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. For example, decide whether the words in a chapter of a seventh-grade science book are generally longer than the words in a chapter of a fourth-grade science book.
CCSSHSS-ID.A.1
Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).
CCSSHSS-ID.A.2
Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
