Counting And Graphing
Students explore counting and graphing. In this math lesson plan, students practice counting from 1-25 and are exposed to two types of graphs: the pie graph and the bar graph. Students use Skittles to represent a variety of measurements.
Mixing In Math
Mixing in Math: Growing Plants
Whether you have your class plant seeds or begin when sprouts are visible, math skills are used here to predict and track growth over time. Straw bar graphs show plant height on a given day while the graph as a whole shows changes over...

Numbers in a Name
What's in a name? Pupils create a data set from the number of letters in the names of classmates. Each group then takes the data and creates a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, stem-and-leaf plot, etc.
Curated OER
Tree Measurement
Students work in pairs taking measurements of a tree. They measure the trunk, crown, and height using vertical and horizontal measurement. Then students create a bar graph using the information they gathered.

Organizing Data
In this organizing data worksheet, 7th graders solve seven different types of problems related to data. They first identify the type of data as categorical, discrete or continuous from the information given. Then, students use Excel to...
Curated OER
Magnetic Storms
In this magnetic storms and Earth's magnetic field worksheet, students use a bar graph showing the Kp Index for planetary variability. Students use the bar graph to answer 3 questions about the solar storms and their Kp values.
Curated OER
Graph Your Foot!
Students measure their own foot and place the outline on a graph. They make connections between the size of their foot and the bar graph that represents it.
Curated OER
Bubbles
Eighth graders experiment with a number of dishwashing liquids to determine the duration of the bubbles. They graph the data, add glycerin to the dishsoap, and repeat the experiment. They graph and compare the data sets.
