Student measure heights and graph them using growth charts for which they find the mean, mode, and median of the data set. They graph points on a Cartesian coordinate system.

Fourth graders problem solve a problem from a local business using data, generating graphs, and draw conclusions. They submit their findings in a business letter format with feed back from a company's plant manager.

Students determine the difference between guessing and making a prediction. They discuss what they could graph using a bag of M&M's. They take a Raw data sample and convert it into a sample. They graph the actual results and combine...

Second graders graph data based on a class survey of their favorite breakfast foods. In this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders take a class survey of their favorite breakfast foods. Then they take that data and put it into a computer...

Students record data, make observations, and share in experimentation and discussion of numerical experiments.

Second graders explore graphing. They count the number of pockets on their clothes and use Microsoft Excel to enter their data. Students create a class graph displaying their findings.

Students solve problems using math. They complete a graph, using data from the 2000 presidential election results. Students predict and calculate the outcome of the election based upon the voting patterns.

Learners calculate proportions to determine the total population of Lake Pepperidge Farm. They collect a blind sample of fish and count the number of tagged and untagged fish. They collect data from all samples and record the data in a...

Students design and perform an experiment related to comparing and contrasting antlion pits. Given a set of parameters, students select a hypothesis and perform observations on antlion pits. They record data and use this date to support...

Students discover how to find the mean, median, and mode from sets of data. By using statistical techniques such as whisker plots and bar graphs, they display the data gleaned from problems. Individually, students complete projects...

Students conduct a scientific investigation to determine if a magnet attracts paper clips through different materials. Students write out their procedures, collect data and present it in a table or chart, and analyze their results.

Students do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.

First graders use estimation skills and gather data and record their findings

Students set up a stream table, observe erosion, and record data on where various sizes of sediments settle. They draw conclusions as to what kind of sedimentary rock form in what locations.

Students research inventions that have been created. In this historical technology lesson, students read the Harcourt Brace social studies textbook and discuss how inventors used graphs to display data. Students create a table to write...

Young scholars collect data on investments and draw conclusions. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze exponential graphs as they relate to money. They discuss the cause of an account balance being high or low.

Fifth graders investigate the mean of a data set.  In this fifth grade mathematics lesson, 5th graders determine the mean of sets of numbers using a calculator.  Students use a blank role book page to create grades for students...

Learners find a way to mix oil and water. In this emulsion lesson, students attempt to mix oil and water, then add egg yolk to the mixture to serve as an emulsifier and observe the results.

Young learners create and implement a school-wide survey about student body favorites! Learners record and analyze the data on a bar graph, picture graph, and line graph, and then display the data. Then, wrap it all up with a celebration...

Learners gather data, make and share predictions about the time of sunrise ans sunset in their area. Patterns are analyzed and shared with students from other areas.

Students collect, organize, and compare different data and develop statistical methods such as: average, median, mode and range as a way for decision making by constructing table

Young scholars design models to simulate actual events using a tale of random digits. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. Students investigate the uses of statistical methods to analyze data.

Second graders examine how to make and read bar graphs. In this bar graph lesson, 2nd graders compare bar graphs to pictographs by looking at hair color survey data. They practice making a bar graph and finding the range of the data.

Students research data and develop statistical methods such as mean and median price and make convincing arguments as powerful ways for decision making.
