In an effort to understand how to use a line plot, students measured their vertical jumping ability. Each student tested their "vertical" and collected data using a t-chart. After the data was graphed, they found the mean (average), mode, median, outliers, and the range. This was a fun way to learn while being active. I even tested my vertical too!
Mean- The average of numbers. Add all the numbers in a set of data and divide by how many pieces of data there are.
Mode- I teach the students to think "most." The number that occurs the most in a set of data.
Median- Think "middle." The number that falls in the middle of the data when it is organized from least to greatest.
Outlier-The piece of data that is isolated. It is furthest away from the other numbers.
Range- Take the biggest and smallest number in a set of data and find the difference (subtract).
