Build up a bag of green. Pupils determine the number of green Skittles in a snack bag and come up with a way to determine how many snack bags it would take to create one bag of only green Skittles. Classmates share their methods and...

Students participate in and conduct a survey to determine various class favorites. They collect, organize and display their data, interpret the results, and complete a packet of worksheets to display the information.

Students explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

Learners practice coordinates and measurements, develop 2D, 3D topological map, construct grid with string on real surface, establish "level" fixed point for measurements, take and record data points of elevation, and enter data on...

Young scholars develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover...

Students become familiar with weather terminology and different representations of data as they explore various on-line weather sites. They practice using and interpreting data determining the effects of the time of day, time of year and...

Learners describe graphically, algebraically and verbally real-world phenomena as functions; identify the independent and the dependent variable. They translate among graphic, algebraic, and verbal representations of relations and graph...

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.

Eighth graders explore the correct use of box and whisker plors. The times when they are appropriate to use to compare data is covered. They plot data according to statistical analysis including mean, median, and mode.

Students explore mean, median and mode. In this math lesson plan, students analyze temperature data and figure the mean, median, and mode of the data. Students graph the data in a bar graph.

Students observe and measure a model of slow down slope movement.  In this graphing lesson students collect, record, and organize data that apply to models.   

Students investigate maps and data to learn about the connections between hurricanes and climate. For this exploratory lesson students describe and graph the 6 regions where hurricanes happen and discuss how hurricanes have changed over...

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.

How much can you learn about an important topic from a single image? High schoolers analyze an infographic that represents the number of stops performed during the Stop and Frisk police procedure. After building background information...

Some say that you can make statistics say whatever you want. It is important for learners to recognize these biases. Pupils learn about sample bias and the different types of samples.

Students practice addition facts, record data, and construct a bar graph. In this probability lesson, students participate in a board game in which bicycles move towards a finish line based on players completing addition problems. Dice...

A math and science worksheet prompts learners to simulate how scientists determine populations of animals out in the wild. They use goldfish crackers, paper bags, and a styrofoam cup as their tools. An excellent cooperative group activity!

Students examine and identify gender bias, stereotyping, and discrimination in school materials, activities, and classroom instruction. They apply descriptive statistics knowledge to real-world data.

In this data handling worksheet, students explore multiple ways to represent data.  They create stem and leaf plots, histograms, and bar charts.  Students examine and interpret diagrams and statistics.  This eleven-page...

Students collect survey data on the prevalence of asthma in a community. They summarize and display the survey data in ways that show meaning.

Students investigate rational numbers through data analysis and statistics. In this algebra lesson, students represent, rename, compare and order rational numbers. They collect and represent data correctly on a graph.

Learners record and interpret data. In this constitution lesson, students discuss voting and making bar graphs. Learners practice voting and do a bar graph activity. Students make visual representations of votes on the board.

What if you don't have theoretical probabilities with which to create probability distributions? The 11th installment of a 21-part module has scholars collecting data through a survey. The results of the survey provide empirical data to...
