Class members create their own social networks by collecting signatures before graphing the interactions with their fellow classmates. The degree distribution of the simulated social network is determined by calculating the degree of...

Fifth graders examine line, bar and circle graphs in the newspaper and on the Internet. They complete sketches of graphs with an emphasis on selecting the best model to depict the data collected.

Think you can solve the energy problem? You'll first need to know about current energy use. Analyzing a set of circle graphs lets scholars see where energy consumption is the greatest, both by sector and by household use. They develop a...

Explore the concept of measuring and recording circumference. In this physical science and measurement lesson plan, young learners blow up balloons, measure the circumference, and record the data on an interactive graphing website.

Learners record their daily activities and graph the results using the educational software program called Inspiration. This instructional activity is intended for the upper-elementary classroom and includes resource links and activity...

It might not be easy, but it is worth recycling electronics. Small groups determine the percentage of the materials that make up an iPad 2 and display the information in a circle graph. They then research the recycling process for...

Students create graphs using information from spreadsheets. They select a topic from the following choices: website use, digital cameras, spreadsheets, calculators or educational software. They tally the class results and create an...

Students create spreadsheets and bar graphs based on results of survey of favorite holidays.

Students keep records and determine how much time they spend on certain activities. They insert the data into a spreadsheet. Students graphically display data in a bar graph and a circle graph.

Students randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Learners relate the trigonometric functions to the coordinates of the unit circle. They classify trigonometric functions as odd or even. Students determine the signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. They are explained that...

Students plot activities for a 24 hour day. They record their information on a spread sheet program. Students list categories they use and write equations for cells that add cells of each category together. Students create a pie chart of...

Students watch streaming video, Holiday Facts and Fun: Thanksgiving, define and discuss acrostic poetry, complete circle map using words associated with Thanksgiving, and create acrostic Thanksgiving poems to be typed in Microsoft Word...

Students complete a science experiment to study insulation, heat transfer, and permafrost. In this permafrost study lesson, students design and test a soda insulator. Students graph their class data and discuss the results. Students...

Students explore the concept of ellipses including finding the center, vertices's, foci and eccentricity. They assess how to graph elliptical functions and solve application problems involving ellipses. This assignment is to be completed...

Students practice and determine expected values of experiments as well as distributions of experiments. They find the area of rectangles and circles and determine elementary probabilities. Probability exercises begin with quarters and...

Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body instructional activity, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects...

Seventh graders, after predicting dominant colors foud in their habitat or garden, visit heir area on a monthly basis. They search for colored toothpicks, then graph the results, determining the dominant color for the month.

Students research and create a presentation about their own culture and personal history. They interview family members to increase their awareness of family events and documents. They create a family tree at a web based resource.

First graders sort Valentine candies according to kind. Data is inserted into a spreadsheet and displayed in various graphic formats.

Third graders focus on state birds as they learned absolute location (latitude/longitude) of each state, as well as their relative location (bordering states).
