Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Comparing Data Sets in Boxplots. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

A boxplot will allow you to quickly analyze a set of data by identifying key statistical measures (median and range) and major concentrations of data.
Given a data set represented in a boxplot, identify and describe the lower extreme (minimum), upper extreme (maximum), median, upper quartile, lower quartile, range, and interquartile range.
Make observations and inferences about data represented in a boxplot.
Compare and analyze two data sets represented in boxplots.
The range is the difference between the upper extreme and the lower extreme. The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

After the Game

What is the lower quartile? What is the upper quartile? Does a larger box mean more data? Once the data was sorted, what were the steps used to build the box plot? What values were necessary to identify in the sorted data to build the box plot? How did the box plots for the 3 competing monsters help you to decide who earned the gold, silver, and bronze trophies?
