Creating Box Plots

Learn to draw your own box plots to show data in this informative sixth-grade worksheet! In three problems, students will be presented with a situation and a corresponding dataset. They’ll need to fill in the five-number summary of the data, including the minimum, median, maximum and the lower and upper quartiles. Then, they’ll draw their box plot with a consistent scale on the blank number line. 

This worksheet is a great resource for students who are already comfortable reading box plots, but still need practice making their own. Learners can improve their understanding of how data is represented in graphs and charts. They’ll need to use what they know about each part of the five-number summary. These skills are vital for statistics and reading scientific literature!
