Students investigate the properties of two and three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate polygons based on similarity and congruence. They make observation and interpret the data.

Students use the internet to gather a minimum of thirty pieces of data. Students create box and whisker graphs, and stem and leaf plots from the information. They calculate mean, median, mode, and range. Students write a summary and...

Sixth graders discuss how the scale and type of graph can change how the data appears. With a partner, they identify all the information about the graph in a specific amount of time and record them in a journal. To end the lesson, they...

Eighth graders, using a range of data, produce three bar graphs for various scales along the y-axis.

Young scholars formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them. They wcreate bar graphs and pie graphs

Eighth graders use data from surveys conducted with parents, peers and themselves to create computer-generated scatterplots. They make inferences from their scatterplots.

Learners explore the relationship between two variables. Students measure their arm span and height. They gather this class data to design a scatter plot. Learners interpret the meaning of individual coordinates and the overall graph....

Students examine the world population data using MyWorld GIS software and compare and contrast the population characteristics of countries around the world. Students summarize their findings in a report.

Explore the world's water without leaving the classroom! In this second of three uncomplicated but wonderful activities, physical science learners feel the pressure of water. They discover that the deeper the water, the stronger the...

Students practice making graphs and interpreting them. They compare and contrast different sets of data. They use Microsoft Excel to create different types of graphs.

Seventh graders collect, organize, and analyze data as they research colleges on the Internet. They graph their collected data on a line graph and use a spreadsheet on Microsoft Excel in order to organize the data.

Learners create charts and graphs using a spreadsheet. They chart the number of each gift given day by day from the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas." They create a bar graph and a circle graph from their data on the spreadsheet.

Young scholars explore the differences between surface water and ground water. They collect data using maps and graphs and investigate a Texas river basin and a nearby aquifer. They complete a written report including maps and data...

Second graders work in small groups to complete a graph and use data to determine range, mode, and median. They use the number of letters in their names and in fairy tale characters names to produce their data. This is a fun lesson!

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Learners experiment with water, dropper and a coin to study the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson plan, students are in groups, each with a coin, water and a dropper. They investigate how many drops of water can fit on...

Learners investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry lesson, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory. They collect...

Students experiments with levers to determine if the amount of force needed to lift a load is always the same. In this physics lesson, students use Lab-Pro data collector as they experiment with the fulcrum placement to measure the work...

Learners fill out an anonymous questionaire to explore whether they might have asthma. They then set up a spreadsheet to enter the data, decide on a definition of asthma, and figure out the prevalence of asthma. Pupils simulate what it...

Fifth graders explore the concepts of range, median, mode, and mean through the use of graphs drawn from models. They use manipulatives to represent data they have collected within their groups, and compare the differences between mode,...

Students write an equation for a linear function. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data, plot it and graph it. They identify the equation of the graphed data and define the slope and y-intercept of the graph.

Students convert degrees between two different units. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and identify the line of best fit. They use their line of best fit to make predictions given a set of data.

Introduce your math class to the perimeter of a circle. Teach them that pi describes the relationship between the circumference and the diameter. As a hands-on investigation, pairs or small groups use string to compare these two values...

Students graph data and interpret that data after reading information about lifestyles and income levels. They calculate percentages, set up spreadsheets and calculate columnar data.
