Car, Plane, Bus, or Train?

Students are introduced to a new way to visualize data (as a box plot) and two new ways to measure spread (range and IQR). They make sense of a box plot for a data set, then interpret information on a different box plot (MP1). Students also make connections between data sets, box plots, interquartile range, and range.
