Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Structure Of Statistical Data. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Data is the information gathered from statistical questions.

Statistical questions anticipate and generate data that varies.

Display data generated from statistical questions with dot plots (or line plots), histograms (appropriate for large data sets).

Describe data in a box-plot, dot plot, or histogram in terms of symmetry (skewed left, right or symmetrical) and what the shape means as per the data.

Describe the data in terms of shape of peaks (most data points), gaps (no data points in the set), clusters (where a group of data points are in the set), outliers.

See the center of the data as the middle of the data set.

Describe the spread of the data (between shapes and from start to end of the data set).

Describe data in a box plot in terms of spread of the data (median, range, interquartile range).

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are different ways that we could graphically represent numbers, such as 2, 4, 8, and 10? What are different ways that we could present these in tables? Why would we need to represent data on different types of graphs or charts? What is a cluster on a graph? What is data?

After the Game

When was it appropriate to represent your data with a line chart? When was it better to represent the data with a bar graph? Which type of graph did you find easiest to read? What were the steps you took to produce a box plot?
