Students construct three different graphs-a line graph, a bar graph, and a circle graph.  In this graphing lesson, students use different graphs to display various data that they collect. 

Students develop a spreadsheet containing statistical data. They describe and interpret the data to make conclusions. They review the differences between an unorganized spreadsheet verses an organized one.

Students organize data collected from their experiments using graphs. In this statistics and biology lesson, students organize their scientific data from an article into readable graphs. They define the usefulness of their graph and...

Students identify a question to generate appropriate data and predict results. They distinguish between a total population and a sample and use a variety of methods to collect and record data. Students create classifications and ranges...

Students participate in a simulation of a parachute-jump competition by making paper parachutes and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the paper parachute lands compared to...

Students create original survey questions, and develop a bar graph of the data on paper. They input the survey data using two variables onto an Excel bar graph spreadsheet.

Students create a graph of tulip growth. In this data analysis lesson, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.

Students explore and examine the increases and/or decreases for water user groups: irrigation, municipal, manufacturing, steam electric power generation cooling, livestock, and mining. They utilize percentage changes during their...

Learners investigate water usage, water available, and water demand historically in the local area. They use projections of water usage, availability and demand up to the year 2050. Students use graphs to relate as well as compare and...

Students gather and analyze data from sports teams. In this measures of central tendency lesson, students gather information from websites about sports team performance. Students analyze and draw conclusions from this data. This lesson...

Students examine the wattage of a light bulb using math. In this algebra lesson plan, students find the inverse square of given parameter. They work in groups collecting and analyzing data.

Young scholars use their color categorized jelly beans to find the range, mean, median and mode. They use their recorded data documenting how many jelly beans there are for each color in order to calculate the range, mean, median and...

Students practice the basic principles of probability by conducting an experiment, determining if a game is fair, collecting data, interpreting data, displaying data, conducting analysis, and stating and applying the rule for probability.

Learners watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. In this line of best fit lesson, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of best...

Students explore measurements and geometric formulas. In this geometry lesson, students investigate pi as it relates to geometry. They collect data and use a chart to organize the data.

Students collect data on population growth. For this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Ninth graders calculate the average speed of their balsa wood airplane. In this physics lesson, 9th graders build their own airplane and make necessary modifications to to make it fly straight. They interpret distance and time graph...

Fifth graders examine fractional parts of pie graphs. Given a bag of M&Ms, 5th graders interpret the data. They use a paper plate and colors to create a graph of the types of M&Ms represented.

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Students examine the statistics of March Madness, the college basketball tournament. They watch videotaped basketball games to collect data for further analysis using Word and Excel. They analyze the data in a variety of activities...

Third graders measure the speed at which they can walk in order to understand speed and distance traveled. They then research the history of transportation and express data in a class timeline.

Students utilize peanuts to practice fractions.  In this math model lesson, students solve multiplication problems and fractions with real peanuts.  Students use drawing software to graph data from the math equations.
