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

Here is a well-designed lesson on common standards of measurement for your young mathematicians. In it, learners calculate measurements in standard and non-standard units. They make predictions, record data, and construct and design...

Students create a variety of graphs. They count, sort, and classify M&M's by color and record data on a chart. They use data from the chart to create pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs. They analyze data and determine...

Study the difference between mass and weight. Your math group will compare the weight of an item to the amount of space that it uses. They'll then use conversion factors to find the difference between kilograms and pounds. Essential...

Young scholars create a graph of tulip growth. In this data analysis instructional activity, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.

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.

Students explore the concept of central tendencies. In this central tendencies lesson, students sort M&M's or Skittles based on color. Students graph their results. Students find the mean, median, and mode of their data.

Third graders investigate how temperature and motion (energy) create a chemical change that turns cream ( a liquid) into butter (a solid). They create a class pictograph of their favorite mils choices (white, chocolate, or strawberry)...

Students measure their own foot and place the outline on a graph. They make connections between the size of their foot and the bar graph that represents it.

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

Students identify aquatic insects. In this organism lesson, students locate aquatic insects near a local waterway and collect them. Students graph the amount of insects that they collected.

Students measure the flight of a gilder. In this fight of angles instructional activity, students explore the flight of a glider and measure the distance flown. They collect statistical data of the flights and determine the slope of...

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 and explore gingerbread man data. In this math and technology lesson plan, students examine how to organize and interpret data in three formats: objects, pictures, and graphs.  

Learners identify the stages of the water cycle. They listen to the book "Magic School Bus: Wet All Over," examine the Build Your Own Water Cycle website, predict and measure the amount of water in a jar for a week, and read a short play...
