Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers find the solutions to the problems while interpreting the line, bar, and circle graphs. The examples are given to help in the context of each objective.

Second graders rotate through a variety of stations designed to offer practice in manipulating data. They sort, tally and count items and then create bar graphs, tables, and pie graphs to record their findings.

Second graders discover how to make a bar graph. Each student receives a bag of Skittles candy. They make a bar graph which documents the colors found in the bag. At the end of the lesson, the Skittles are eaten. Fun!

Students explore the concept of temperature. In this temperature instructional activity, students read thermometers in degrees Celsius. Students discuss the temperature of the seasons and what clothing they might wear given a certain...

Fourth graders examine the use of stem and leaf graphs. For this stem and leaf graph lesson, 4th graders participate in teacher led lesson showing the use of the graphs. They work in groups to collect data about peanuts before making a...

Young mathematicians gather data on a topic, graph it in various forms, interpret the information, and write a summary of the data. They present their data and graphs to the class.

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...

Pupils create two different types of graphs from the information in the "Farm Facts" booklet (i.e., bar graph, pie chart, etc.). They calculate where your food dollars are spent (on and off farm).

Fifth graders examine line, bar and circle graphs in the newspaper and on the Internet. They complete sketches of graphs with an emphasis on selecting the best model to depict the data collected.

Students identify and explain different types of data collection and graphs. In this graphs and data collection lesson, students record their observations of a variety of data collection tools and graphs displayed in the room. Students...

Young scholars use the tools of data analysis for managing information. They solve problems by generating, collecting, organizing, displaying histograms on bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, pictographs and charts. Students...

Students create graphs to illustrate the bald eagle population. They identify the population of bald eagles in Minnesota and the United States. They create three graphs to represent the population data including a line, bar, and...

Fourth graders watch a video about constructing bar graphs. They create their own graph and interpret it.

Students brainstorm for a survey question to ask classmates. They survey their classmates. They enter the results into a spreadsheet and create the best graph for the information. They share their graphs with the class.

Demonstrate several ways to represent data with your class. They will use surveys to gather data and display the data using tally charts and graphs. Then answer questions according to the data.

Here is a great lesson on constructing line graphs. Learners identify common characteristics of birds, ants common needs of all living things. They also write a story from the perspective of an ant or a bird that has lost its home and...

Seventh graders explore bar graphs and pie charts. Given a pack of M&Ms, 7th graders explore the colors, sort the data in a frequency chart and then construct bar graphs and pie charts to categorize the M&Ms by color. Students...

Fifth and sixth graders practice working in pairs to determine whether they can walk with constant speed. They test themselves, collect their data, draw graphs with their data collected, manipulate the data, and then draw conclusions...

Discuss different sources of energy and how much greenhouse gas each might emit. The six sources are then ranked according to emissions from greatest to least. Finally, the true cumulative emissions are revealed to show the class how...

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Whether you have your class plant seeds or begin when sprouts are visible, math skills are used here to predict and track growth over time. Straw bar graphs show plant height on a given day while the graph as a whole shows changes over...

Fifth graders practice using math graphs. For this graphing lesson, 5th graders work in groups to develop a topic of their own to represent as a graph. Students collect data and construct a graph for the lesson.

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.
