Teaching young mathematicians about collecting and analyzing data allows for a variety of fun and engaging activities. Here, children observe the weather every day for a month, recording their observations in the form of a bar graph....

These four scenarios all contain graphable data; can scholars match them to the correct bar graphs? All the data is in single-digit whole numbers. Some of the scenarios instruct kids to make a graph, while others don't. Clarify...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

An inventive lesson shows learners how to collect, organize, and present mathematical data. They access websites which lead them through a variety of ways to engage in data collection. They get to design and create graphs, and present...

Use these pre-made data sets to introduce kids to bar graphs and data analysis, and then have them take surveys on their own. There are 10 survey scenarios written out here, and scholars synthesize the results of each into a bar graph....

In this math/nutrition lesson, the nutritional value of 3 snack foods is recorded on a data chart and represented on a bar graph. Students analyze and compare information, construct data charts and related bar graphs, and draw...

Get to know your class and teach about data analysis all with the help of Google Docs. Using student-generated questions, create a class survey using Google Forms. Reserve time in the computer lab for learners to complete the form and,...

Students explore data distribution. In this data analysis lesson, students create a data distribution table by playing the game "Tower of Hanoi" from the Hall of Science. Students analyze their data and answer data driven questions.

Students investigate graphs and analyze the data displayed in the graph. They read a graph reflecting the birthday data for the students to read and analyze. Students use the graph to determine the number of birthday cards they need to...

Students examine the meaning of data and data collection, represent data in various ways, and make a bar graph.
