Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Center and Variability - Mean & Median

Kick soccer balls to generate a data set! Explore how the mean and median are related to each other, and which one moves more each time a soccer ball is kicked! See how many data sets you can create data sets where the mean and median are equal! Figure out how to predict when the mean is going to be greater than the median or vice versa.

Activity 2: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Center and Variability - Median

Kick soccer balls to generate a data set! Notice how a card is created each time a ball is kicked! Explore the median value among the soccer balls, the cards, or both. Can you sort the data yourself? See how the median changes when one soccer ball is added!

Activity 4: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Center and Variability - Variability

Explore the kick patterns for four different kickers! Learn about three measures of variability: range, interquartile range, and the mean absolute deviation. Compare the measures of variability for each kicker. Predict a range of values where their next kick is likely to land using the measures of center and variabilility to give credibility to your prediction!

Disaster Deduction Detectives

Disaster Deduction Detectives is a four-level game to teach mean, median and basic statistics in context. Students will learn how data tracking and analysis can support important decisions made in real-world scenarios. Through the game, students will be introduced to the concepts of statistical questions and data as well as ways to analyze them. Students will then calculate the mean and median using multiple real-world data sets. Students will be introduced to data visualization through dot plots, variability and the concept of outliers.
