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.

The activity focuses on the ideas of dot plot representations and the mean absolute deviation of data sets.

In this data recording and data organization worksheet, students create one frequency table and one histogram for a given list of data.  Explanations and examples for frequency tables and histograms are given.

Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Fifth graders explore how to collect data and display it on a bar and circle graph.

Students predict what might happen to their pulse rates after physical exertion and then make conclusions about the effects of physical activity on pulse rates.

Learners conduct their personal investigations into paper airplane flight. Cooperative teams are formed, with students choosing the paper airplane design that they are most interested in building.

Second graders, using two dice, participate in a car race game called Cars on the Curve. They predict which car wins the game and records it in their Data Diary.

In this number puzzle learning exercise, students are given 8 clues to find 8 integers. Clues refer to measures of central tendencies, abundant numbers, perfect cubes, and palindromes.
