Histograms
For this histograms worksheet, students construct 3 different histograms from the same data set. Students also sort the data and answer 1 discussion question.
Curated OER
Mean, Median, and Mode
Fourth graders compare two sets of data by using a double bar graph. In this data analysis lesson plan, 4th graders study a double bar graph and complete questions based upon the data. Students construct a table to show the data from the...

Three for the Money: The Degree/Diameter Problem
Learners explore the degree, diameter, planarity, and size of graphs. In this degree, diameter, planarity, and size of graphs lesson plan, students try to construct a graph with more than 12 vertices that satisfy all other...
Curated OER
Triangles
Students identify triangles in the real world and construct their own triangle using drinking straws. They explore abstract triangles and find additional geometric shapes such as trapezoids. Students discuss similar shapes and examine...
