Lesson (...)

Box Plots

Lesson: Introduces students to quartiles and box plots.

Stem-and-Leaf Plots

Lesson: Introduces students to stem-and-leaf plots and calculating the mean, median, and mode from the plots.

Univariate and Bivariate Data

Lesson: Students learn about the difference between univariate and bivariate data and understand how to choose the best graph to display the data.

Activity (...)

Box Plot

Activity: Students can create boxplots for either built-in or user-specified data as well as experiment with outliers. User may choose to use or not use the median for calculation of interquartile range.

Histogram

Activity: View histograms for built-in or user-specified data. Experiment with how the size of the class intervals influences the appearance of the histogram. Parameters: Data sets, class sizes.

Measures

Activity: Enter data and view the mean, median, variance, and standard deviation of the data set. Parameters: Number of observations, range for observations, which statistics to view, identifiers for the data.

Plop It!

Activity: Build dot plots of data using your mouse. View how the mean, median, and mode change as entries are added to the plot. Parameters: Range for observations.

Scatter Plot

Activity: Graph ordered pairs and customize the graph title and axis labels. Points are connected from left to right, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.

Stem and Leaf Plotter

Activity: View stem-and-leaf plots of your own data, and then practice finding means, medians and modes. Parameters: Data
