Lesson: Shapes of Distributions Mathematics • 6th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to determine whether the represented data is symmetric, right-skewed, or left-skewed.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

  • identify whether a diagram is symmetric, has a positive (right) skew, or has negative (left) skew for
    • dot plots,
    • box-and-whisker plots,
    • histograms,
  • identify the shape of a distribution based on its interquartile ranges.
