Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Calculate mean, median, mode, range, quartiles and interquartile range for a data set
  • Construct and interpret box-and-whisker plots
  • Find a missing data value that produces a given mean, mode or median

Teaching tips

  • The notes call for graph paper so box-and-whisker plots can be drawn to scale, so have some ready for the plotting problems.

Skills covered

  • Locating quartiles — students split each data set to find Q1, Q2 and Q3 before computing the IQR
  • Reading a box plot — students answer questions about a plot that is already drawn
  • Working backward — students solve for the value that reaches a target mean, mode or median
