Statistical Questions Card Sort

Use this hands-on card sorting activity to help sixth-grade learners distinguish between statistical questions and questions that are not statistical. Students will read 18 questions and determine whether or not each question requires the collection of data to be answered. Then, they will sort the questions into two columns based on whether the question is statistical or not statistical in nature. Featuring a variety of interesting real-world scenarios, this two-page worksheet is a great way to help students build their understanding of data and statistics. As a warm-up, give students the Recognizing Statistical Questions worksheet!
