Grades 8-12
AP Probability and Statistics
14.0 Students organize and describe distributions of data by using a number of different methods, including frequency tables, histograms, standard line graphs and bar graphs, stem-and-leaf displays, scatterplots, and box-and-whisker plots.

Lessons (2)

Algorithm Discovery with Venn Diagrams

Students discover algorithms as they sort shapes into Venn diagrams. Then students compare the efficiency of their algorithms using box plots.

Audiences: Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12

Primary Subjects: Algebra, Discrete, Geometry, Number and Operations

Related Topics: algorithm, box and whisker, box plot, geometry, pattern, polygon, sets, venn diagram

Univariate and Bivariate Data

Students learn about the difference between univariate and bivariate data and understand how to choose the best graph to display the data.
