Seventh graders collect and analyze data.  In the seventh grade data analysis instructional activity, 7th graders explore and/or create frequency tables, multiple bar graphs, circle graphs, pictographs, histograms, line plots, stem...

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson plan, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Students create their own data to graph and...

Students explore graphing. In this graphing activity, students predict how many shoe eyelets are present in the classroom. Students count eyelets and work in groups to organize and chart the data collected. Students put all the data...

Fourth graders review how to create bar, line and circle graphs. Using jelly beans, they collect data and present it in a bar graph form. They enter the same data into a spreadsheet and watch as the program creates the same graph. They...

Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...

Students read graphs and charts to interpret results. In this algebra lesson plan, students interpret bar, line and pictographs. They draw conclusions and make predicitons based on these charts.

Learners brainstorm for a survey question to ask classmates. They survey their classmates. They enter the results into a spreadsheet and create the best graph for the information. They share their graphs with the class.

Students are given three choices of food. They then decide on their favorite and predict what the class's favorite food will be. After the teacher enters the data into the computer, students gather around the computer to view the...

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.

Students analyze data and make inferences. In this algebra lesson, students collect and analyze data as they apply it to the real world.

Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students use circle, pie, bar and lines to represent data. They analyze the data and make predictions bases on the scatter plots created.

Young scholars investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson plan, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

Students explore graphs and define the different ways they are used to display data. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot their data using the correct graph. They draw conclusions from their graphs based on their data.

Learners are introduced to the organization of data This lesson is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...

Sixth graders explore potential and kinetic energy. In this science instructional activity, 6th graders assume the role of a roller coaster engineer and design a roller coaster. Students use their knowledge of kinetic and potential...

Measure a tree? Yes, measure a tree! Students get outside and measure a tree's trunk, crown, and height. Each group compares their answers to determine if any re-measuring is necessary. Once back in the classroom, students make bar...

Eighth graders investigate Newton's Law of Inertia in order to create a context for the review of the use of different types of graphs. They practice gathering the data from an experiment and put it into the correct corresponding graph.

Students practice graphing relationships between variables by studying topics such as exponential growth and decay. They conduct a series of numerical experiments using a computer model and a variety of physical experiments using mold,...

Students explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...

Fourth graders sort seeds and predict what conditions are needed for them to germinate. They keep the seeds moist, observe and measure their growth and graph the results. As the seeds start to grow students compare and contrast the each...

Use a box of raisins to help introduce the concept of data analysis. Learners collect, analyze and display their data using a variety of methods. The included worksheet takes them through a step-by-step analysis process and graphing.

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

Students compare weather data and draw conclusions. In this climate change lesson plan, students determine whether data collected over a period of ninety years shows a warming trend.
