Mean, Median, Mode, Range & IQR

Activity Description

In this 6th-grade math worksheet, students will work with five different data sets, each representing real-world scenarios such as weekly attendance of students in a class, the number of pages read in a week by different students, and other similar problems. The primary goal of this activity is to strengthen students’ understanding and application of key statistical measures by having them calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range (IQR) for each data set.

Each student will receive a different set of numbers in each set of questions, helping to avoid the possibility of copying answers.

Teacher Tips:

• Review the definitions and calculation methods for mean, median, mode, range, and IQR before students begin the activity. Ensure they understand each term and its significance.
• Encourage students to organize the data in ascending order as their first step, which will simplify finding the median, quartiles, and mode.

This activity is designed to enhance students' ability to analyze and interpret data by applying fundamental statistical concepts, preparing them for more advanced topics in future lessons.

Key Features:

• Auto-Graded: This interactive digital worksheet is auto-graded, eliminating the need for teachers to evaluate it manually, making it an excellent practice activity.
• Unique Questions: Each student will receive a unique set of data sets to promote individual practice and understanding.
• Re-Assignable: Re-assigning the worksheet to the same classroom will generate a new set of questions for each student.
