Box Plots Worksheet

The Box Plots Worksheet is designed to help students understand how to construct and interpret box plots (box-and-whisker diagrams) to summarise data distributions. The fluency section focuses on identifying key values such as the minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and maximum, and using these to accurately draw box plots on a number line.
 
In the reasoning and problem-solving section, students are challenged to compare distributions, comment on spread and skewness and interpret box plots in context. This section promotes statistical thinking, comparison skills and a deeper understanding of how data variation and central tendency are represented visually. The activity supports mastery by combining procedural accuracy with meaningful interpretation of data summaries.
