Fourth graders discover the appropriate way to construct and analyze bar, line, picto, and circle graphs. They set up frequency tables and perform some statistical analysis (mean, median, and mode) on their data.

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

Students investigate water usage at school and at home. They use graphs and tables to evaluate water usage. Students describe possible water conservation measures. They use graphs and tables to relate data as part of a written report.

Students connect different mathematical concepts. They create a circle graph. Students then create a question in which they collect data in order to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to percents.

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry instructional activity, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online...

Sixth graders create a PowerPoint presentation using information that they have compiled from their web search and rubric web sites, text and other applicable references. They work in pairs to complete these searches and projects.

Students make a budget and utilize math skills to keep a record of what they spend. They use technology and spreadsheets to help them keep track of their money.

Students develop strategies for adding and subtracting fractions. They search for and generalize patterns.

Students find coordinate points on a grid and create a line graph with those points. This instructional activity should ideally be used during a unit on various types of graphs. They make and use coordinate systems to specify locations...

Eighth graders investigate the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas in a closed container. They measure the height of the water in their beaker/container, conduct their experiment, and create a graph to illustrate their data.

Students examine college costs in different states. In this college cost instructional activity, students create a table and determine the average cost of college for the states listed. They organize the data into measurement categories....

Fourth graders decorate and use popsicle sticks as manipulatives to assist with their learning of probability. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to organize the results of their experiment. They make a stem and leaf plot...

Students design and carry out an experiment according to the scientific method. The experiment must test the effects of time and concentration on the rate of diffusion of potassium permanganate into potato cubes. After performing the...

Students study math. In this real-life problem solving lesson, students work on their skills dealing with time and money. They work in small groups on various time and money word problems and by the final day they have a final problem...

Second graders use data analysis skills in order to plan a class party. They graph possible times for the party noting the range for times. They discuss how mathematicians find and use the range to analyze data.

Study various objects and help kindergarteners use their five senses to classify the objects. They are presented with various objects and then use their five senses to sort and classify the objects. Then they use a Visual Ranking Tool to...

Sixth graders conduct a survey and collect data to construct a bar graph that will then be changed into a circle graph. With the bar graph, 6th graders compare estimated fractions and percentages and estimate percentages. With the circle...

Students trace their feet and them compare the different sizes of classmates. They construct a bar graph showing the results of their classmates' feet size. They discuss what kinds of conclusions can be drawn from their observations.

Seventh graders review their graphs from the previous lesson plan about trends. Individually, they identify their personal strengths and weaknesses when it comes to being successful. To end the lesson plan, they use this information to...

Eighth graders create career portfolios, speak with the school counselor, and develop and educational plan. Individually, 8th graders discuss career options and how an educational plan can assist them in future goals. They explore...
