Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

Learners are presented with the question: "Do longer legged people run faster than shorter legged people?" Students conduct an experiment, collect their data, create box and whisker plots using a computer and graphing program, and...

Students identify real graphs and misleading graphs. In this algebra lesson plan, students surf the Internet for real life scenarios where graphs are used in a misleading way as well as in a correct way.

Students investigate the different hormone contaminants in the water supply. In this math lesson plan, students analyze data tables and graphs. They demonstrate exponential growth and decay using frog populations.

Students collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.

Pupils practice making charts and graphs from data on spreadsheets. Individually, they create a graph representing the latest information on voter registration. They answer questions and analyze the data to end the lesson.

First graders examine data on a graph and determine which variable on the graph has more. They draw pictures of their family members and determine which families have more members than other families. Using squares of paper to depict...

Young scholars practice collecting and graphing data using interlocking cubes. In this graphing lesson, partners count cubes and graph them. They also use a meter stick to measure arm span and height then compare the results with the...

Seventh graders explore bar graphs and pie charts. Given a pack of M&Ms, 7th graders explore the colors, sort the data in a frequency chart and then construct bar graphs and pie charts to categorize the M&Ms by color. Students...

Students collect data and present it in a graph and/or a spreadsheet, depending on their previous understanding of technology.

Students investigate the impact of human activity on the environment.  In this secondary math/science lesson, students analyze and interpret information from data and graphs as they investigate trends in climate change and the...

Sixth graders investigate erosion. In this erosion instructional activity, 6th graders explore how farming changes the environment. Students construct an erosion model and research ways to protect the soil from excess mud generated by...

Fourth graders share a previously written portfolio piece and the class guesses the genre. Students use tally marks to keep track of how many of each piece there are in class. Once the data collection is complete, 4th graders create a...

Students study graphs and learn how to display information into a graph. In this graph lesson plan, students construct a graph of their own sorted data, and pick out things in graphs that are inconsistent.

Students read and interpret graphs of data sets. The data is used to devise reasons as to why teams in the NCAA Basketball finals from the 1950'sand up have the highest scores.

Young scholars decide as a class what their data is going to be to graph. In this math lesson, students organize data so that it will be easier to display in a graph. Young scholars are guided through the process by their teachers, and...

Students conduct a traffic survey and interpret their data and use graphs and charts to display their results.

Students analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make a...

Students examine population growth and collect data. In this statistics lesson plan, students create a scatter plot to represent the different species found in the water and are being harvested. They graph their data and draw conclusion...

Students collect data on the time of the ferry. For this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.

Young scholars collect data on a robot and relate the behavior to prove there is an infinite minute set of numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students verify that there is always a number between two numbers. They analyze and...

Learners discover the properties of matter and how they change when composite materials are produced.  In this informative lesson students write up a question and procedure to an experiment then analyze and draw conclusions based on...

Eighth graders explore the correct use of box and whisker plors. The times when they are appropriate to use to compare data is covered. They plot data according to statistical analysis including mean, median, and mode.

Second graders create and utilize a graph using the Excel computer program. They gather data regarding how the students get to school, tally the numbers for the class, and create a bar graph on paper and using Excel.
