John won the election, but by how much more? Your learners will calculate how many votes each candidate received in order to determine the difference. Use with other lessons provided in the series to practice different variations of this...

After elections, the total amount of votes is not specified but the ratio of votes is. Your learners' job is to determine the fraction of votes John received above half of all votes. The problem can be solved abstractly or by other...

Students explore the New Hampshire primaries and the polling process by analyzing polling information, examining the effects of polls, and creating graphs that represent polling data.

Young scholars solve problems using math. They complete a graph, using data from the 2000 presidential election results. Students predict and calculate the outcome of the election based upon the voting patterns.

Here is another opportunity for math students to apply reasoning to solve real-world problems with ratios. The ratio of the number of votes for two candidates is provided. Your class is asked to use this ratio and information given about...

Get your learners to think outside the box. Learners require a good understanding of ratios and their relationship to fractions to complete the problem. The only quantities given in the problem are the ratio of the number of votes for...

The votes are in and your mathematicians are going to calculate how many votes each candidate received. Three different solution choices are given, depending on which method is taught. Have your learners set up a table, compute parts, or...

Students investigate polling. In this statistics lesson, students collect data-on polling and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They identify biased and non-biased polling.

Bar graphs are used as a way to study voting patterns in the United States. A variety of statistical data is presented in the graphs, and pupils must interpret the data in order to make a report to the class. Three excellent graphs,...

Young scholars practice sampling and graphing techniques. In this data collection and interpretation activity, students write and conduct surveys about chocolate preferences and then collect their data. Young scholars graph the data in...

Second graders explore how seasonal weather patterns affect temperature and their lives.

Students use literacy skills to gain information about tolerance. In these lessons on acceptance, student read stories, answer questions, survey students, and plan a citizenship week to encourage participation in a No Name Calling week.

Students solve math problems by using a calendar. In this problem solving lesson, students review the days of the week and months in a year. Students complete a problem solving worksheet about the calendar.

Students explore fieldwork.  In this seventh or eighth grade mathematics lesson, students watch a video on data collection in the field.  Students use fieldwork to gather data about their school environment. ...

Second graders review the weather through a role-playing game.

Students solve problems using a calendar. In this calendar lesson, students complete a worksheet of math story problems. Example problems are provided.
