An Activity for Learning to Find Percentiles
Cox, Richard G.
Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, v38 n2 p63-64 Sum 2016
This classroom activity is designed to help students practice calculating percentiles. The approach of the activity involves physical sorting and full classroom participation in each calculation. The design encourages a more engaged approach than simply having students make a calculation with numbers on a paper.
