Box plots

Read a box plot and write the five-number summary, the range and the interquartile range.

About this worksheet

Each box plot sits above a number line with a mark at every tick, and every value falls exactly on a tick. Students read the minimum, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3) and maximum, or find the range and the interquartile range (IQR) from the plot.

Choose the five-number summary, range and IQR only, or all seven answers. The worked example uses a different plot and explains where each number is read.
