Students practice graphing activities. In this graphing lesson, students discuss ways to collect data and complete survey activities. Students visit a table and graphs website and then a create a graph website to practice graphing.

Plot data using the number line and discuss how negative numbers are used in math and science. Sixth and seventh graders share their graph with the class and provide an explanation for their plotting.

Students participate in a WebQuest in which they must determine which amusement park is the "median priced" park. Students visit park websites to accumulate prices for parking, activities, restaurants, and gift shops.

Collections of data represented in stem and leaf plots are organized by young statisticians as they embark some math engaging activities.

Analyze different types of graphs with learners. They conduct a survey and determine the mean, median and mode. They then identify different techniques for collecting data.

Students review graphing terminology and how to plot data points, how to input data into a spreadsheet, and how to make a chart using a computer.

Students build and program a car to drive a specific challenge distance.They must at the end of the lesson, have the car that stops the closest to a challenge distance.

Students define terms and analyze data. In this statistics lesson plan, students plot their data using bar and line graphs. They analyze their data after they graph it and apply the results to the Great Depression.

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 predict and estimate the number of moose shot by people between the years of 1986-1990. They analyze data and statistics, construct bar graphs, and conduct research on the Alaskan moose.

Students sort Valentine candy and create a bar graph with it.

In this bar graphs worksheet, students, working with a partner, explore how to read and analyze the five answers to one mathematical bar graph.

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

Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Second and third graders answer questions based on data presented to them in graphs. They see how to interpret data from a bar graph, line graph, and a chart.
