Young scholars use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Using either data provided or data that has been collected, young mathematicians graph linear functions to best fit their scatterplot. They also analyze their data and make predicitons based on the data. This lesson is intended as a...

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.

Learners use text information, data and graphs to explain what sustainable development is, and to investigate the rate of consumption of Canada's natural resources. In groups, they graph their findings.

In this word problem worksheet, 6th graders solve 5 different word problems related to the data table shown. First, they determine the average of the overall scores as shown in the table and the mean of the overall scores. Then, students...

In this histogram worksheet, high schoolers solve 6 multiple choice and short answer problems. Students read histograms and determine the frequency of a particular item.

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Class members explore how to read and use histograms by watching a video on creating and analyzing histograms. To finish, the class works on a set of questions that tests these skills.

Students construct, read and interpret tables, charts and graphs. They draw inferences and develop convincing arguments that are based on data analysis. They create a graph displaying altitude versus wind speed.

Students investigate graphing.  For this bar graph lesson, students view an informational website about graphing, then construct a class birthday bar graph outside with sidewalk chalk. Students choose a survey topic, then collect...

Sixth graders discuss nutrients and examine foods for starch.  For this starch testing lesson, 6th graders use iodine to test foods for starch and record their results. Students complete a worksheet and self reflection.
