6th grade · Statistics & Probability
Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
3 interactive, auto-graded activities for 6th grade students practising 6.SP.A.2. Mini Labs put the standard to work in a real scenario; Skill Practice builds fluency on the standard alone. Every one is randomized per student, so each learner gets their own numbers.
Students will analyze dot plots representing real-world data, such as the ages of students participating in a school carnival. They will answer questions based on these plots. Each student will receive three unique sets of data and questions, encouraging individual analysis and critical thinking.
Students collect and summarize data from a live classroom survey on topics like pets, siblings, and school routines. As they enter values, interactive charts update in real time. Students then analyze the graphs and answer summary questions. A fun way to learn data collection and interpretation!
Practice calculating the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of a data set step-by-step—starting from the mean, to absolute deviations, and finally to the MAD value.
