Unveiling Patterns: Exploring Parallel Box Plots

Unveiling Patterns: Exploring Parallel Box Plots

Learning Objective

Understand the concept of parallel box plots and create box plots from real-world data.

What do you already know about box plots?

Understanding Box Plots

Box plots display the distribution of a dataset and highlight the median, quartiles, and potential outliers.

Introducing Parallel Box Plots

Parallel box plots compare two or more sets of data by displaying their distributions side by side.

Creating Box Plots

Use given data to create a box plot, marking the median, quartiles, and any outliers.

Analyzing Real-World Data

Students will analyze real-world data sets and create parallel box plots to compare the distributions.

Problem-Solving Activity

Students will work in groups to solve a real-world problem using parallel box plots.

Presenting Findings

Each group will present their problem-solving approach and the insights gained from the parallel box plots.

Review and Practice

Review the key concepts of parallel box plots and provide additional practice problems for reinforcement.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
