Activity Description

In this worksheet, students will engage in analyzing dot plots that represent real-world data scenarios. For example, one of the plots may show the ages of students who participated in a school carnival. Students will carefully examine these plots and answer a series of questions designed to deepen their understanding of data distribution and statistical measures.

Activity Overview:

  • Real-World Data Analysis: Students will work with dot plots that depict real-life situations, such as age distributions at a school event. This helps students relate mathematical concepts to everyday experiences.
  • Three Unique Sets of Data: Each student will be provided with three different dot plots, each accompanied by a set of questions.
  • Answering Targeted Questions: Students will analyze the dot plots to answer questions related to the data.


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 3 dot plots 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.


  In this worksheet, every student will receive a unique set of questions and the worksheet is auto-graded. When a teacher reassigns a worksheet, students will receive a completely new set of questions, ensuring a fresh and fair learning experience every time.
