A Walk Down the Lane

Students will measure a pre-determined distance between 2 points in a hallway, classroom, or courtyard using 2 different measures (strides or rulers and tailor tape measures.) Once data is collected, return to the classroom to compile data and create box plots. Students should make predictions of which measurement will be most accurate, and how they will determine accuracy. From the box plots created, students should discuss and create a summary of the data collected, median and quartiles, and what conclusions they were able to infer from their graphs about their predictions.
