Mean, median, range, and data distributions are the focus of this Grade 7 Computer Science worksheet, giving students structured practice calculating numerical summaries and using them to interpret data. Students move from defining statistical terms to calculating values, comparing groups, and explaining the patterns shown by distributions.

Build the foundations of data analysis

Students define mean, median, range, and distribution using data examples. These concepts provide a practical foundation for describing a data set and recognizing that different numerical summaries reveal different information about the values being studied.

The worksheet then develops calculation skills as students find the mean, median, and range of small data sets. This connects terminology with computation so students can determine each measure rather than simply recognize its definition.

Use statistics to compare groups

A key part of the resource asks students to use numerical summaries when comparing two groups described by statistics. Students must interpret the information provided and consider what the calculated or stated measures reveal about similarities and differences between the groups.

This makes the lesson useful for developing data interpretation alongside calculation. Students practice using statistics as evidence for comparison instead of treating mean, median, and range as isolated procedures.

Recognize patterns in distributions

Students also explain how data distributions can show patterns. This extends the lesson beyond individual summary values and helps students consider how a collection of data is arranged and what that arrangement can reveal.

Practice across different task types

The worksheet includes multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer responses, a dialogue, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. These formats allow students to define statistical vocabulary, calculate averages and range, interpret summaries, compare groups, and explain distribution patterns.

Teacher materials included

• The Averages, Range, and Distributions student worksheet
• A separate Teacher Guide PDF with Learning Objectives
• Teaching Tips for supporting instruction
• Discussion Questions for extending student reasoning
• Common Mistakes to help teachers address misconceptions

Use this data analysis worksheet during a Data and Information unit, for independent classwork, homework, or review. By combining mean, median, range, group comparison, and distribution patterns, the resource gives Grade 7 students practice with both the calculations and interpretation involved in working with data. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
