Explore the advantages to using a stem-and-leaf plot using an online lesson. Learners manipulate an animation to create a stem-and-leaf plot. They then calculate statistics for the data using their display. Guiding questions help them...

 A good lesson doesn't just grow on trees! Help your classes understand the concept of a stem-and-leaf plot using an interactive lesson. Learners first create a stem-and-leaf plot from a set of data by dragging the values to the...

Which gender spends more time playing video games? Your classes use provided data to answer this question. They first build a two-sided stem-and-leaf plot and then use the display to look for patterns. Guiding questions help them...

Cameras use histograms to communicate the exposure of a photograph. An interesting lesson uses this idea to help learners deepen their understanding of histograms. It highlights the skew of the graphs by showing under- and overexposed...

Students are introduced to the function of frequency tables and stem and leaf plots. In groups, they determine the frequency of their teacher coughing, ringing a bell or raising their hand. To end the activity, they determine frequency...

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,...

Upper grade and middle schoolers explore mathematics by participating in a measuring activity. They hypothesize on what the average height of a male or female 6th grader is and identify ways to find the average mathematically. Learners...

Students graph and plot numbers and analyze their data. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different properties of a stem and leaf plot. They decide which type of graph to use when it comes time to analyze their data.

Students explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, 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...

Young mathematicians fold and flick their way to a deeper understanding of statistics with a fun, hands-on math unit. Over the course of four lessons, students use paper footballs to generate data as they learn how to create line...

Students 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...

Young scholars use the Internet to research the importance of leaves, stems and roots to plants. They participate in a hands-on experiment to identify the functions of different plant parts.

Double click that mouse because you just found an amazing lesson! This cross-curricular Ornithology lesson incorporates literature, writing, reading informational text, data collection, scientific inquiry, Internet research, art, and...

Eighth graders experiment to determine the number of drops of water a heads up penny hold. They create a stem and leaf graph of the class results and use the data for further experimentation on a tails up penny.

Students use plant specimens to explore how to recognize differences in plant morphology and to develop a vocabulary to describe these differences. They brainstorm: What is a plant? What parts do plants have? What is a leaf? Students...

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson plan, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Fourth graders decorate and use popsicle sticks as manipulatives to assist with their learning of probability. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to organize the results of their experiment. They make a stem and leaf plot...

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 create a quilt, using different patterns. For this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Fourth graders review the parts of the plant and their functions.  In this plant lesson, 4th graders recognize that plants must transfer energy to make food.  Students understand the interdependence of organisms in an...

High schoolers investigate plant structure and the process of photosynthesis. Using everyday items, they demonstrate that the leaves and stems of plants can act like a straw. In addition, they identify plant structure.

Students conduct Internet research on plants and complete a WebQuest on vegetable plants. They use a graphic organizer to display their findings, observe actual vegetables and design a salad, noting which part of each plant is included.

Students illustrate the major parts of a plant, classify some plant foods we eat as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. They also name some animals that use seeds, leaves, and fruit for food.

Students know about monocotyledons and dicotyledons. They explore the differences between the seed structure of the two by examining bean and corn seeds. They sprout seed to observe the differences in both of their growths.
