Third graders use climate data to create a key, plot data points, and interpolate data.

Take a look at two different data distributions and draw some comparisons. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students compare different types of graphic displays to understand how to choose the best method of displaying their data, and they learn the...

A stem and leaf plot is a graphical representation for investigating variation. You will convert an ordered stem and leaf display grouped by tens into an ordered display grouped by fives.

In this self-directed lesson, students use maps and graphs of data to investigate the habitats and time of year and day to hear a full chorus of frogs. A handout with everything the student needs to complete this lesson is available as a...

Multiple graphs can represent the same data set and make the information easier to understand.

A histogram displays numerical data by grouping data into "bins" of equal width. Each bin is plotted as a bar whose height corresponds to how many data points are in that bin.

Use this applet to create a customized box plot with your own data, or display a box plot of an included set of data.

Students use multiple representations to display how many times the letters of the alphabet is used in a state name. Concepts explored: stem and leaf, box and whisker plots, histograms.

Students investigate how a pie chart can be used to display data graphically. The resource includes the activity and instructor resources.

Allow yourself 10-15 minutes to enter data to obtain an estimate of your personal greenhouse gas emissions. Then explore actions that you can take to reduce your energy and waste disposal costs. The calculator will display the amount of...
