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...

Fourth graders are introduced to the concept of the seasonal round and how folklife traditions vary from season to season. They begin charting dates of personal interest on seasonal round calendars by starting with birthdays. Students...

Students interpret the stock market. They pick preferable stocks based on price to earnings ratios listed in the quotes. They practice using fractions and decimals to calculate the cost of selling and buying various stocks using...

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...

Students investigate the monarch's searching behavior and ability to find food. They determine whether or not a caterpillar can find food in a simple Y-shaped maze. They record and graph or chart the data from several attempts using...

Students examine their own lives and how well they manage their time outside of school. In this this time management lesson, students discover the amount of time they spend on other activities, and create a pie chart with that...

Pupils complete bar graphing activities with a dinosaur theme. Students discuss their favorite dinosaurs, collect data about the discussion, and make a floor graph of the information. Pupils complete a dinosaur graph worksheet.

Tenth graders explore the concept of spreadsheets. They create a simple spreadsheet and chart from given data. Students perform basic formatting procedures on their chart. They use spreadsheet functions to perform calculations.

Sixth graders investigate film making by creating a video about probability.  In this math visualization lesson, 6th graders create a presentation for their class demonstrating the probability of random events taking place in the...

Fifth graders define words. They create a dichotomous key. After carefully examining pill bugs, 5th graders record observations. They compare and contrast habitats of pillbugs.

Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

Students investigate measures of central tendency. They examine compiled data and conduct critical analysis. The graph is focusing on the gross domestic product data. The lesson also reviews the concept of putting values in order of...

Students investigate how to make a good parachute. In this physics lesson, students observe the motion of parachutes as it falls and measure the time. They collect data and calculate the average descent time for each canopy shape.

Sixth graders explore how exercise affects heart rate and use spreadsheets to record and analyze data.

Students survey the class and graph the results. In this graphing and data collection lesson plan, students conduct a survey to see where their shirts were produced. Individuals use software to graph the results and create a written...

Students analyze data to solve the mystery of what contributed to an ecological disaster at Great Flathead Lake. They read and graph the available data, create a food web of the problem ecosystem, and construct a formal problem statement...

Pupils identify the line of best fit. For this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They calculate the regression equations and identify the different types of correlation.

Students review the concept of median, explore how to calculate quartiles for any size data set and experience how to build a box plot.

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra instructional activity, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

Students read and record temperatures and display the data. They represent the temperatures on an appropriate graph and explain completely what was done and why it was done. Students display the data showing differences in the daily...

Students use logic to locate the primary cases, the people who started the spread of the disease through the population. They graph the data of the number of people infected over time (exchanges) and determine an equation that best fits...

If the flu outbreak continues, exams will have to be canceled. Investigate the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI to examine and differentiate between exponential growth and...
