Students, using manipulatives, determine how many different ways there are to arrange 3 and 4 objects. They organize and record their arrangements. Students investigate the pattern generated by 3 and 4 objects, they predict how many ways...

Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

Students create a variety of graphs. They count, sort, and classify M&M's by color and record data on a chart. They use data from the chart to create pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs. They analyze data and determine...

Second graders conduct survey and sort data according to categories, construct bar graph with intervals of 1, and write a few sentences about their graphs.

Eighth graders investigate Newton's Law of Inertia in order to create a context for the review of the use of different types of graphs. They practice gathering the data from an experiment and put it into the correct corresponding graph.

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.

Students organize and interpret data using bar graphs.

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts surrounding the interpretation of information included in graphs for analysis of data for probability. They examine circle graphs and differentiate the values of...

Third graders research their genealogy. In this math lesson, 3rd graders collect data and create graphs and charts. A presentation of their findings is given.

Eighth graders, in groups, count the different colors of M&M's in each kind of package and then draw a pictograph to show the results. Each group writes a program to show their results and then compare the manually-drawn and computer...

Students find an advertisement or newspaper using charts or graphs. They create another graph using the same information in a different format. They write a comparison of the two graphs.

Eighth graders collect and analyze data about foul shots taken at basketball games.

Sixth graders choose the appropriate graph to display collected data. They interview each other on what foods they eat. They also interview elders and find out what types of food they grew up eating. They create graphs to display the...

Students find the frequency of a name in selected states by using the Internet. They input data into a spread sheet. They create a graph that illustrates the gathered information.

Students practice sorting and counting different objects. Using this information, they create graphs on a worksheet given to them. They describe and analyze the results and discuss them as a class to end the lesson. They also complete...

Students are introduced to significant figures and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them. In a group, they practice plotting data points from a table to a graph and labeling all axes. They calculate the slope and y-intercept and...

Which function models the data best? Pupils work through several activities to model data with a variety of functions. Individuals begin by reviewing the shapes of the functions and finding functions that will fit plotted data points. By...

Learn about polymers while playing with shrinky dinks. Young scholars create a shrinky dink design, bake it, and then record the area, volume, and thickness over time. They model the data using a graph and highlight the key features of...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

This optional lesson introduces the class to the idea of a minimum spanning tree. The activity focuses on determining an algorithm that will find the most efficient path in a network to transfer data. 

Scholars apply prior knowledge of statistics to write a conclusion. They summarize using correct academic language and tell the story of the data.

Mississippi has both the highest obesity and poverty rate in the US. Does the rest of the data show a correlation between the poverty and obesity rate in a state? Learners tackle this question as they practice their skills of regression....

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....
