Students examine the painting, "Sunflowers," by Vincent van Gogh noting the use of the yellow color, the wiggly lines, and the "globs" of paint used to create the picture. Pictures are painted using van Gogh's image as a model.

Students gather data on sports team and create a box and whisper plot. In this data collection lesson, students find the median, the quartile range, and relationships between variables.

Learners study three structures of a plant as well as their locations and functions.  In this botany lesson students complete several activities on plant organs and their functions.

Learners collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson plan, students graph their data and make inferences from the collected data. They display their data using graphs, bar graphs, circles graphs and Venn diagrams.

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson plan, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

Pie isn't just for eating! Scholars learn to create pie charts and circle graphs to represent data. Given raw data, learners determine the percent of the whole for each category and then figure out the degree of the circle that percent...

How are vegetables beneficial to a healthy diet? Have kids examine different types of vegetables, such as zucchini, broccoli, and carrots, and determine which parts of the plant they represent. Then, they taste the vegetables as a...

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.

Learners compute mean, median and mode and compare mean, median and mode to a real-world application to identify their practical uses. They apply mean, median and mode to real-world statistical data. Finally, students organize data into...

Fifth graders construct graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders learn about various types of graphs such as bar, line, circle, picture and stem and leaf plot. Students work in groups to create examples of each graph.

In this math worksheet, students find the mean, median and mode for 2 stem and leaf tables, 4 number sets. Students also find a set of numbers for given mean, median and mode.

Students discuss reasons to plant trees and the best locations for cooling. They analyze two homes identifying types and locations of trees, and location of the central air conditioners. The benefits of shade, the process of...

Students discuss reasons to plant trees and the best locations for cooling. They study two homes and identify types and locations of trees and determine the placement of the central air conditioners. The class plans a landscape design...

Fourth graders review the parts of the plant and their functions.  In this plant lesson, 4th graders recognize that plants must transfer energy to make food.  Students understand the interdependence of organisms in an...

Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

Pupils follow set of guidelines to create a picture of an apple with a stem and leaf. They think about whether they are more or less creative when working within a set of rules.

Fourth graders collect and chart weather data over the course of the school year either using tools at school or media resources. They agree on weather terms to use in their observations and write them on the assigned sheet. Finally,...

In this business and statistics worksheet, learners read real-life business problems, arrange data, and identify the probability method best used to determine the answer. They identify the type of random sample, draw stem-and-leaf plots,...

First graders study plants and their parts to see what parts are edible.  In this plant lesson students are assigned plant parts and they are to put them in the right category. 

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Seventh graders are introduced to the concept of box-and-whisker plots. A step-by-step process for creating a box-and-whisker plot is provided. The goal of the lesson is that students study the components of a box-and-whisker plot and be...

Students are introduced to histograms, bar graphs, and the concept of class interval. They use an activity and three discussions with supplemental exercises to help students explore how data can be graphically represented (and...

Students investigate plant structure and the process of photosynthesis. Using everyday items, they demonstrate that the leaves and stems of plants can act like a straw. In addition, they identify plant structure.
