Whiskers are not just for cats! Pupils create box-and-whisker plots from given data sets. They analyze the data using the graphs as their guide.

Predict the year that college costs will double in your state using linear modeling. The first part of this two-part project based learning activity asks young mathematicians to use data from the College Board. They graph the data,...

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 create models to represent both linear and quadratic equations.  In this algebra lesson, students collect data from the real world and analyze it. They graph and differentiate between the two types.

Plant the data firmly on the graph. Given information about the growth rate of plants, pupils determine the heights at specific times and graph the data. Using the information, scholars determine whether a statement is true and support...

Future weather forecasters collect daily temperatures over a period of time. Afterward, they compare their data with monthly averages, as researched on national weather websites, in order to grasp the difference between weather and...

Fourth graders name colors of M&Ms and record answers. They estimate number of M&Ms of each color found in a typical package of M&Ms on piece of paper.They record information on sheet of paper and create a spreadsheet. paper.

Smells like learning! Young scholars collect data on the length of time a stick of deodorant lasts. After modeling the data with a graph and function, they make predictions about deodorant use over time.

The way you use statistics can tell different stories about the same set of data. Here, learners use sets of data to determine which person sends the most text messages. They use random sampling to collect their data and calculate a...

Can I afford to go to college? Small groups design a method to research college tuition for several years and make a prediction of costs in 2025. Classmates plot the the data on a scatter plot and graph the line of best fit to make their...

Unlock the mystery behind seasonal change with a collection of worksheets and activities. Whether they are drawing pictures of Earth's orbit around the sun or graphing the temperature and daylight hours of different locations...

Frequency polygons are a different way to represent frequencies over intervals. Pupils take frequencies for intervals of data from a frequency table and plot them as a frequency polygon. Budding mathematicians find information about the...

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

From Brazil to Indonesia, young scientists investigate the geography and climate of the world's tropical rain forests with this collection of worksheets.

In this collecting data worksheet, 4th graders use the data collected on crickets chirps and the temperature to make a line graph by following 4 directives.

For this project worksheet, 9th graders display their data, the make a graph and they answer analysis and conclusion questions on their experimental design project. They discuss the variables of their experiment, their major findings,...

In this data analysis worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different types of problems. First, they reduce the data provided to find the means, and graph the means in a line graph. Then, students graph the data from each mixture...

Students collect data and create a graph. For this algebra lesson, students describe functions graphically, algebraically and verbally. They identify functions as being independent and dependent using variables.

Young scholars experiment with point graphs. In this math instructional activity, students are divided into groups and perform an experiment to see how high a ball bounces, recording their results on a point graph. Young scholars then...

Ways to organize data is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Students view slides that define and give descriptions of a variety of graphs, and how mean, median, and mode are found. A good visual tool which should benefit almost all types...

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

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

Students investigate reaction rates.  In this seventh or eighth grade mathematics activity, students collect, record, and analyze data regarding how the temperature of water affects the dissolving time of a sugar cube. Studetns...
