Description
Watch your students dive into the world of math as they create, execute, and analyze their own survey! Students will demonstrate mastery of data gathering, survey sampling, developing appropriate survey questions, data tables, Direct Variation, discrete graphs, dot plots, box and whisker graphs, and calculating the inter-quartile range.
The Unique Survey Project is highly engaging, capitalizing on the innate curiosity of the adolescent mind. You will love the low-prep instructional guide. Your student will love the collaborative atmosphere. They may even forget they are in math class!
Students will:
- Create an appropriate survey question.
- Choose a population to survey.
- Survey the chosen population and record the raw data.
- Organize the data into a table.
- Construct a direct variation graph of the data.
- Build a dot plot of the data.
- Determine the Minimum, Maximum, Quartile 1, Median, Quartile 3, and Range.
- Design a box-and-whisker plot of the data.
- Calculate the Inter-Quartile Range of the data.
- Produce a presentation poster with the above assembled items.
You will love the easy prep … just provide copies and classroom art supplies like paper and colored markers. This product offers great flexibility. Choose to spend a week doing the entire project or pick just one activity to enhance your daily lesson, and then put it all together at the end of the unit.
Your students will love the personalized, yet collaborative, environment. They will enjoy participating in imaginative, yet mathematical, discussions. Creativity and collaboration lead to greater success. It’s a win-win!

Students love to complete surveys on a myriad of topics, usually completed on their cell phones, and related to their personal life. Make the connection between those personal surveys and the data mining done by companies to develop, improve and market their products. Students also like to make predictions and know the outcome of a given survey.
Each student chooses a topic, surveys a population, gathers data, organizes their data in a table, designs a direct variation graph, draws a dot plot and a box-and-whisker plot. This data is used to find the minimum, the maximum, the median, the range, Quartile 1, Quartile 3, and the Inter-Quartile Range. Students present their data on a creative poster.
