Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Summarize Data By Data Collection Measures. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The interquartile range (IQR) is the distance from the first and third quartile and is used to describe variability of the data set.
Center is measured by the median, a number arrived at by counting to the middle of an ordered array of numerical data.
See the center of the data as the middle of the data set.
Display data generated from statistical questions with dot plots (or line plots), histograms (appropriate for large data sets).
When the data set is even the median will be the average of the two middle numbers.
Quartiles are the medians of the lower and upper halves of the ordered data values - quartiles describe the spread of the data and are found in the same manner as finding the median by finding the middle number of both halves of the data as separated by the median.
The quartiles separate the data into 4 sections that each contain the same amount of data points but vary in shape and size.
Box plots organize data into a display that shows how the shape of the data can be compared. The data is organized into 5 points; the minimum or least data point from the entire set, median, the first quartile or median of the bottom 50% of data, third quartile or median of the top 50% of the data set and the maximum or the highest value of the data set.
Describe the data collection by describing how the data was collected to determine if the data is accurate or fairly collected (Identify representative, random, and biased samples).
Describe the spread of the data (between shapes and from start to end of the data set).

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is a median? If you had data with numbers like 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10, what would the median be? What is the first step you need to complete when creating a box plot? How should your data be organized when creating a box plot? Organize the following set of data points: 8, 8, 9, 3, 2, 5, 9, 8, 2.

After the Game

After randomly picking apples, we had sizes such as 4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 9, and 10: organize the data into a dot plot, and then into a box and whisker plot. For the above problem, label the median, lower quartile, upper quartile, minimum, and maximum. The game showed you how a box plot is organized into four sections - what is the same in each section and what is different about each section? Create a box and whisker plot with the following data set: 8, 8, 9, 3, 2, 5, 9, 8, 2.
