Data Analyst

This worksheet is designed to help students in Grades 5 and 6 build strong skills in statistics, data analysis, numerical reasoning, trend identification, and mathematical communication. By acting as data analysts, students examine soccer goal data from two different seasons, calculate measures of center, and reflect on patterns while comparing their own work with AI-generated results.

Learning Goals

• Statistics Skills (Grades 5-6): Practice calculating mean, median, and mode using real-world numerical data.
• Data Interpretation: Analyze patterns, trends, and changes across two data sets from different seasons.
• Critical Thinking: Compare human calculations with AI-generated results to evaluate accuracy and reasoning.
• Technology Literacy: Learn how AI tools like Microsoft Copilot can support data analysis tasks.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource: Designed by educators with grade-appropriate expectations and clear instructions.
• Flexible Use: Works well for classwork, independent practice, small groups, or enrichment activities.
• Hands-On Learning: Encourages students to compute statistics manually before checking results with AI.
• Digital Citizenship Support: Promotes thoughtful evaluation of AI outputs rather than blind acceptance.

This printable worksheet helps students strengthen their understanding of mean, median, mode, data interpretation, statistical reasoning, and comparison skills in a meaningful context. By blending math practice with technology awareness, students develop confidence in both computation and critical evaluation. It’s an engaging, low-prep option that fits easily into classroom instruction or homeschool learning focused on real-world data analysis.
