__**Rollercoaster Madness Project**__  Our roller coaster madness project is to help students use data to find the mean, median, mode, and range in a practical and applicable sense. They will research statistics of their favorite rollercoasters from anywhere in the world. Students will learn how to find the mean, median, mode, and range of the speed, length, and duration of the three rollercoasters that they have researched.
