Sixth graders practice collecting, organizing and displaying data. They create circle, bar, line and picto graphs. They analyze data in small and large sample groups.

Fourth graders evaluate various graphs for the best way to reflect statistical data. They use a spreadsheet to organize data and generate varied graphic representations. They select the graph they feel best shows their results.

Second graders explore organizing data to make it useful for interpreting picture graphs and bar graphs. They use Graphers software to create a pictograph and a bar graph.

Students explore math and art concepts, create digital art examples of the concepts, and incorporate these works into a PowerPoint portfolio with explanation and analysis.

Students have fun with graphics, graphs and money, simultaneously learning with up-to-the-minute information.

Young scholars complete worksheets on equality in math and create their own. They further investigate equality in the world around them.

First graders distinguish between an over-estimate and an under-estimate. They estimate the number of beans that can be held in a hand, organize data and actual findings.
