[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students compare different types of graphic displays to understand how to choose the best method of displaying their data, and they learn the...

This task challenges a student to use their understanding of scale to read and interpret data in a bar graph.

Add more power to your data analysis by creating relationships among different tables. A relationship is a connection between two tables that contain data: one column in each table is the basis for the relationship. To see why...

Multiple graphs can represent the same data set and make the information easier to understand.

This tutorial walks students through how to create different types of graphs using the Create a Graph tool available on the website. Covers bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts, area graphs, scatter plots, and dependent and independent...

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of scale to organize and represent data from a table on a graph.

The activity is a hands-on project. Students will work in pairs to gather various measurements, organizing the data into a provided chart. The measurements will be used to review, reinforce, and introduce skills such as measures of...
