What educators are saying
Perfect way to emphasize what makes a question statistical and then have students put into practice the concepts that have been taught.
I'm using this in place of our end of module exam! The students loved coming up with their own question to ask peers and are SO engaged throughout the entire process!
Description
This is a survey project that is aligned to the 6th and 7th Grade Common Core (6.SP.1 to 6.SP.5 and 7.SP.1 to 7.SP.4). Students survey a random sample and then calculate the mean, median, range, and mode of the data. They also must create different data displays such as histograms and box and whisker plots. This project is an all encompassing activity that gets students thinking about statistics and loving math! They prove their understanding of the topics by asking questions they are interested in and then analyzing the results.

CCSS6.SP.A.1
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.
CCSS6.SP.A.2
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.
CCSS6.SP.A.3
Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
CCSS6.SP.B.4
Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
CCSS6.SP.B.5
Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
