Students explore how to use and interpret graphs. The graphs are pulled from a variety of sources, and the activities ask students to interpret graphs. They start this lesson with knowledge of what a graph is. Students also know how to...

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Is American growing fatter? Scholars begin with a mini instructional activity on reading charts and graphs using information about Human Body Fat in United States. They then transfer what they learned to charts and graphs using ...

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...

Students are given three choices of food. They then decide on their favorite and predict what the class's favorite food will be. After the teacher enters the data into the computer, students gather around the computer to view the...

Sixth graders review the different types of graphs (bar, line, pictograph) They predict the data set they can garner several boxes of conversation hearts. Students record their data using an Excel spreadsheet. They create a graph based...

Second graders study graphing using pictographs and bar graphs. They graph pie charts, line graphs, and also change the graph scale up to 1000. They use the pictograph on the left to create the same graph on the right using a bar graph.

Seventh graders create a line graph and identify when to use line graphs. For this line graphs lesson, 7th graders analyze the average temperatures of various cities. Students graph the data they collected.

Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...

Intended for a faith-based classroom, this lesson requires second graders to create a survey, conduct the survey in multiple classrooms, and graph the results. They can choose between creating a picture or bar graph, or you can require...

Fifth graders construct graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders learn about various types of graphs such as bar, line, circle, picture and stem and leaf plot. Students work in groups to create examples of each graph.

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

Students build and program a car to drive a specific challenge distance.They must at the end of the lesson, have the car that stops the closest to a challenge distance.

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.

Students investigate graphs. In this graphing lesson plan, students create a graph regarding the population of California. Students extrapolate answers concerning the data set.

Middle schoolers create and interpret line plots, bar graphs, and circle graphs. The lesson plan assumes mastery of conversions from fraction to decimal to percent, construction of angles, and at least an introduction to graphs...

Students write a journal exercise that relates to pets. They collect information from each other in order to practice making and interpreting bar graphs. They Continue building different kinds of graphs with the group.

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot lesson, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages.  In this organizing data lesson plan, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs.  Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.

Students identify real graphs and misleading graphs. In this algebra lesson, students surf the Internet for real life scenarios where graphs are used in a misleading way as well as in a correct way.

Students use commercial software to organize and visually display data to draw conclusions; students use graphing software to create several types of graphs illustrating the number of each color of M&M's in one bag.

In this statistics worksheet, students examine and interpret pictographs and line graphs. Students analyze the provided data in order to create bar graphs, circle graphs, and box and whisker plots. The nine page worksheet accompanies 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...

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.
