Introduction to Statistics and Data

If you’ve been teaching your Upper Primary students about data sets, you may be looking for a worksheet to help them practise finding mean, median and mode in data.

This two-sided worksheet contains various stem-and-leaf plot and dot plot data representations with corresponding questions for students to solve. It also contains an answer key to make marking quick and easy!

Use this collection of task card to allow students to practise finding the mean, median, and mode of small sets of data, in the form of stem-and-leaf plots and numerical lists.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this worksheet to support your data and statistics lessons.

In addition to individual student work time, use this worksheet to enhance learning through small math groups or whole class lessons.

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Display this Mean, Median and Mode Range poster set to provide a reminder of the definitions of each.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Edit the resource in Google Slides to extend above-level learners by creating larger or more complex data sets for them to sort.
