Comparing Data Sets (Tick or Trash)

Test your students' ability to spot mistakes and develop their understanding with this activity. Pupils are given two different answers to a question and have to determine which is correct. They then have to explain what misconception has led to the incorrect answer.

This resource covers the topic of comparing data represented in lists using mode, median, mean and range, and interquartile ranges. There are three tick or trash worksheets and one independent extension task. The four worksheets in detail are;

•Worksheet A: This has three discrete data sets and pupils are asked to find the mode, range and median.

•Worksheet B: This has three discrete data sets and pupils are asked to find the quartiles and hence the interquartile range.

•Worksheet C: This requires pupils to compare two data sets by finding the range, median, mode, mean and interquartile range.

•Worksheet D: This is an independent task in which pupils are finding the mean and interquartile range of discrete data represented both a list of data and tables of data.

All our resources come complete with instructions, solutions and where appropriate ides to stretch and support pupils. This resource is also available as part of the Tick or Trash bundle.
