Students identify a question to generate appropriate data and predict results. They distinguish between a total population and a sample and use a variety of methods to collect and record data. Students create classifications and ranges...

Students gather and analyze data from sports teams. In this measures of central tendency lesson, students gather information from websites about sports team performance. Students analyze and draw conclusions from this data. This lesson...

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

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 observe, measure, and graph a model of slow down slope movement representing soil creep. This task assesses students' abilities to collect, record, and organize data, set up graph axes, plot data points, draw line graphs, apply...

Students use a shoe box to create a seafloor model and use cardboard for layering inside of the shoe box to simulate the ocean floor. They probe the ocean floor to simulate sonar echoes. Finally, students graph their data to get a...

In this golf worksheet, students fill in data in a chart about 6 tournaments and answer short answer questions about it. Students fill in 18 spaces in the chart and answer 2 questions.

Now this lesson sounds fun! Learners throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

Students study sports teams, gather data about the teams, and create a newscast about their data. For this sports analysis lesson, students research two teams and define their statistical data. Students compare the two teams, make...

Students construct a linear graph. In this graphing lesson plan, students determine a monthly budget for gasoline. Students construct a t-chart and coordinate graph to display data. Resources are provided.

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Pupils find the mean, median and mode. In hs statistics instructional activity, students collect, plot and analyze data. The identify the effect the central tendency have on the data and line.

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Does temperature affect the air pressure of a football? Young mathematicians look at the readings from a pressure gauge and determine if the balls are within regulation or are under inflated.

Students collect and organize data, make a scatterplot, fit a curve to the appropriate parent function, and interpret the results. Students translate among the various representations of the quadratic function, formulate equations, use a...

Seventh graders review different types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, box & whisker plots. As a class, they read a story and construct graphs to solve the data in the story. Students play "Graph Jeopardy" which requires...

In this exponential learning exercise, students gather information from an experiment and plot the data in a scatter plot. Using given formulas, they plot an equation of a line and then compare the graphs. Students observe exponential...

For this atmosphere learning exercise, students read a data table showing the percentages of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen in the atmosphere over the last 4500 million years. They then create a graph comparing these gases over...

Young scholars graph and outline the path of a typhoon. In this algebra instructional activity, students measure the path of the typhoon and create a graph with their data. They analyze the data and make predictions.

Fifth graders interpret data. For this mode and range lesson, 5th graders define mode and range and practice finding them given a set of data.

Students use m&m candies as their sample set. They begin by counting the total number of candies to determine their sample size. Students put the candies into a cup and shake them gently before pouring them onto a paper plate. Count...

Students write equations for different functions. In this algebra lesson, students observe data and find the function that goes along with that data. The identify the line of best fit.
