Movie Marathon Madness

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 to build strong understanding of statistical concepts using an engaging real-world dataset of movie lengths. Students practice organizing numerical data, calculating mean, median, and mode, grouping values into intervals, and interpreting histograms while developing mathematical reasoning, data literacy, and comfort using AI as a structured support tool for multi-step analysis.

Learning Goals

• Measures of Center (Grades 5-7) – Students calculate and compare mean, median, and mode from a dataset of movie runtimes.
• Data Organization & Sorting – Learners arrange numerical values to prepare for statistical calculations and visual displays.
• Histogram Creation & Interpretation – Students group data into intervals and analyze frequency patterns using histograms.
• Trend Analysis & Reasoning – Learners identify longest and shortest ranges, common intervals, and overall distribution trends.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Design – Developed by educators to align with upper-elementary and middle school math standards.
• Engaging Context – Uses movies to make abstract statistical concepts relatable and motivating.
• Flexible Implementation – Works well for classwork, small-group instruction, enrichment, or homework.
• Supports Diverse Learners – Combines calculation, visual data displays, and written analysis questions.
• AI Integration – Models responsible use of AI for sorting data, computing statistics, and generating graphs.

This printable worksheet helps students deepen their understanding of measures of center, data grouping, and histogram interpretation through meaningful practice. Learners strengthen skills in numerical reasoning, statistical analysis, data visualization, and pattern recognition while seeing how AI can assist with managing larger datasets accurately. Suitable for both classroom and homeschool use, this no-prep resource builds confidence with core statistics concepts in a clear, structured way.
