Pupils collect data and record it on a bar graph. For this data graphing lesson, each small group of students is assigned to collect data on one of the five senses. They then practice a song that helps them remember the purpose of each...

Learners practice collecting data by surveying other students. In this data collection lesson plan, learners decide on a question and collects data from 15 other students. Eventually the learners will end up graphing their results.

Students demonstrate their ability to collect, organize, and display data. They examine everyday objects that can be turned into a function machine for the lesson. They use colored fish to help them organize their data.

Students explore statistics by researching class birthday data. For this data analysis lesson, students investigate the different birthdays among their classmates and create data tables based on the given information. Students view bar...

Students investigate why a slopes using graphs. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between negative and postive slopes by graphing. They collect data, write an equation and graph using the slope.

Fifth graders look at actual sunrise and sunset times for their hometown to determine a pattern in the amount of daylight. They collect their data in Excel and create a chart to help them identify the pattern, then write an explanation...

Objects may be more linear than they appear. Scholars investigate the relationship between the number of bone mineral density scanners in the US and time. Once they take the natural logarithm of the number of scanners, a linear...

How do you find the area of an irregular shape? Class members calculate the area of an irregular shape by finding the area of a random sampling of the shape. Individuals then utilize a confidence interval to improve accuracy and use a...

Students explore weather instruments. In this weather lesson, students make rain gauges, anemometers, and barometers following the instructions given in the lesson. Students set up a weather station using their instruments and record and...

What is your car worth? How much do you owe? Individuals create their personal cash flow and balance sheets. They learn the difference between an asset and liability using their personal information to complete the activity.

The t-test tutorial will fit your needs to a T. After calculating the mean, sum of squares, standard deviation, and variance of two data sets on a spreadsheet, scholars learn to calculate the t-values. They then learn to use the TTEST...

Which requires more water--a bath or a shower? Given some specific criteria, learners attempt to answer the question. A video shows how long it takes to fill a gallon container using a faucet and a shower head. Using that information and...

Bridge the gap between graphical and algebraic representations. Learners complete six lessons that begin by pointing out connections between the key features of a polynomial graph and its algebraic function. Later, pupils use the...
