Box and Whisker Diagrams

Students learn how to compare sets of data using box and whisker diagrams to measure the interquartile range and median average.  As learning progresses cumulative frequency diagrams are used to create box plots.  This lesson comes with a worksheet to practise drawing box plots and another to practise drawing them from grouped data.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to calculate the median from a Box and Whisker Diagram to comment on a distribution.
  • Most students should be able to calculate the median and IQR from a Box and Whisker Diagram to comment on a distribution.
  • Some students should be able to compare multiple distributions using the Median and IQG from a Box and Whisker diagram.

Plotting Scatter Graphs and Understanding Correlation

July 4, 2018

To introduce plotting scatter graphs and understanding correlation I ask students to think about the relationships between different variables and to describe how they might be related. Here’s my starter activity which students discuss in pairs then present to me on mini-whiteboards. When the students have had time to discuss the matching pairs we talk […]
