Sea Turtle Directions: Sea turtles are an endangered species, and
as such it’s important we do what we can to protect
MATHEMATICS them! Gathering data about sea turtle nests helps us see
PATTERNS 🌀 and TRENDS 📈. Look at the data for
the various nests, and graph the number of eggs in each!

Graph #1: Bar graph.
Graph the number of turtle eggs in each of the 8 green turtle nests. Begin by labeling each nest at the bottom along the X
axis, then label each line in increments of 10 along the Y axis.

Sea Turtle Graph #2: Line Graph
MATHEMATICS Directions: Label the lines along the Y axis in increments of 10.
Label the lines along the X Axis as Nests 1-8.
Graph the Olive Ridley nests in RED. Graph the Flatback Nests in
GRAPHING NEST DATA BLUE.

Sea Turtle Directions: Each female sea turtle lays somewhere
between 50-150 eggs in her nest, but those numbers are
MATHEMATICS just an average! Below you will find data that shows
how many eggs were found in each nest. Can you find
the mean, median, mode, and range for each set of data?
You may use a calculator to help you, or the scratch
MEAN, MEDIAN, MODE & RANGE paper provided.
