Learners find the mean, median, and mode for each of four data sets. They are given two line plots, and compute the median and mode of the shown data. They find the median and mode for three stem and leaf plots. They solve two word...

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

Learners collect data and create a graph. In this algebra instructional activity, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

The lesson focuses on the ideas of dot plot representations and the mean absolute deviation of data sets.

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Students are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

In this measures of central tendency worksheet, learners find the mean, median, and mode of 9 problems given different data sets. Students then solve 2 word problems.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of linear modelling.  In this linear modelling activity, pupils find the line of best fit for life expectancy data of Canadians. They compare life expectancies of men and women, and find...

More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

Seventh graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They create a scatterplot. Additionally, they determine the line of best fit and investigate the slope of the line. Multiple resources are provided. An excellent resource!

Learners conduct an experiment to study friction. They complete a KWL chart on friction and conduct an activity about the amount of friction on a moving object. To conclude, pupils create a table or graph of the data collected and they...

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...

In this data and charts learning exercise, students answer multiple choice questions referring to different charts about mountain heights, breakfast drinks, and more. Students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

Finally, a activity that involves more than filling in some blanks. Your budding ecologists must graph and analyze three sets of data, then synthesize the information as they think about the impacts of plant reproduction on insects and...

Jason, Michelle, Sofia, and Willis all have a variety of toys. Use the chart provided to graph how many toys each child has. Who has the most toys? Who has the least? Help your learners study the graphs they create to better understand...

Examine data and graph solutions on a coordinate plane with this algebra lesson. Young problem-solvers identify the effect of the slope on the steepness of the line. They use the TI to graph and analyze linear equations.

Students examine sea surface temperatures to see how hurricanes get heat from the oceans surface.  In this hurricanes lesson students use the Internet to find data and make line plots. 

How well does your garden grow? Model the growth of dahlias with nonlinear functions. In the lesson, scholars build on their understanding of mathematical models with nonlinear models. They look at dahlias growing in compost and...

Learners examine various types of charts and discover how to construct a line graph. Using graph paper, they construct a graph displaying weight loss over a five-year period. They draw copnclusions from the completed graphs.

Students create a scatter plot for bivariate data and find the trend  line to describe the correlation for the sports teams. In this scatter plot instructional activity, students analyze data, make predictions,and use observations...

For this line plots worksheet, students review how to make a line plot to show data and review the steps to find mean, median, mode, and range. Students then make a line plot for the data in exercise 1 and use it to answer the remaining...

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Fourth graders describe weather data using the mean, median and mode. In this mean, median and mode lesson, 4th graders understand how to calculate data using mean, median and mode and why they would use each one.
