Students examine and identify gender bias, stereotyping, and discrimination in school materials, activities, and classroom instruction. They apply descriptive statistics knowledge to real-world data.

Seventh graders read a book of poems called "Out of the Dust". In groups, they research the Dust Bowl and how it affected people living through the Great Depression. Using the text, they identify the theme and key turning points and...

Eighth graders extend their learning of graphing linear equations and are introduced to connecting patterns in tables and graphs to represent algebraic representations. They then determine patterns and extrapolate information from these...

Seventh graders identify and find missing patterns. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders investigate numbers and sequences and complete the pattern. They make a chart and discuss similarities and differences.

Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

Students practice an alternative form of data presentation. They practice sequencing data, identifying the stem-and-leaf, creating stem-and-leaf plots, and drawing inferences from the data by viewing the plots.

Students research Macbeth online and complete computer and graphing activities for the play. In this Macbeth activities lesson, students research Macbeth and bookmark the URL's. Students complete activities for the topic on spreadsheets...

Ninth graders explain how a scanning tunneling microscope works. In this chemistry lesson, 9th graders construct atomic models and simulate how their images appear under the STM. They discuss the limitations of their atomic model.

Students examine the use for spreadsheets in analyzing data. They make spreadsheets that display and calculate a given data set such as temperature change.

Seventh graders measure and record temperature over a given time period. They compare the recorded temperatures to the 40-year recorded normal average temperatures for the same area. Students display and interpret their findings in a graph.

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.

Fifth graders participate in an online Web lesson plan on ways of interpreting data. They conduct a survey and interpret the results in a journal entry.

Fifth graders collect data and prepare data displays using a survey with statistical information.

Fourth graders work in small groups, using bags of Skittles?? to determine the mean of one color of Skittles?? found in each bag, in each group, and in the entire class. This is a good activity to help motivate students to explore mode,...

Second graders, in groups, participate in a four-station rotation model to solve problems. They use coins and dice for stations one, two, and three.

This unit encourages students to assess the validity of a set of statements and then plan and carry out investigations to find out whether the statements are true. Students then carry out statistical investigations of their own.

Ninth graders encounter various types of numerical information (represented in multiple ways), much of which is abstract and difficult to comprehend. In this lesson plan, 9th graders will convert given information into bar graphs. In the...

Students explore the habitats of mammals and their physical characteristics. They research examples of mammals that must deal with daily changes in their habitat and how they cope with them. In small groups, students create a table...

Third graders use two days to create, collect, display and analyze data. Classroom activities and practice build greater understanding to a variety of forms used to display data.

Sixth graders create and use a spreadsheet to make graphs which will be used to analyze Progress Report and Final Report Card grades. They practice finding the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. Students also incorporate column...

Students utilize the Poison Boxes activity on The Nature Park is used to practice the recognition of 2D shapes and their properties. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

Students identify shapes that match specific shape descriptions involving a range of geometric terms and correct polygon names. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.
