Understanding Box Plots


Description

The activities in this lesson engage students in thinking about everything they learned in the last several lessons about summarizing and describing distributions of data using counts and position relative to the other data values. They consider displays of numerical data in plots on the number line – box plots and dot plots. They use quantitative measures of center (median) and variability (interquartile range) and describe overall patterns in the data with reference to the context.
