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 experiment with point graphs. In this math lesson, students are divided into groups and perform an experiment to see how high a ball bounces, recording their results on a point graph. Students then answer provided questions.

Learners examine a science journal to develop an understanding of graphs in science.  In this data analysis lesson, students read an article from the Natural Inquirer and discuss the meaning of the included graph.  Learners...

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 relate data to coordinate graphs and plot points on this graph. They use minimum wage data to construct the graph. Students decide appropriate time intervals for the graphs. They share graphs with their classmates.

Students investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

Second graders use a computer program to follow directions and graph their favorite things into a bar graph. In this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders have 30 choices of favorite things to graph.

Students create and conduct a survey about favorite foods, gather and represent the data, interpret data and make predictions to present to the class. They create and use interview questions to gather data. Pupils are explained that...

Seventh graders visually represent and analyze data using a frequency table. They recognize what values in a data set are bigger by looking at a bar graph and answer questions about certain bar graphs and what they represent. Students...

Students are introduced to the organization of data This activity is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...

Students explore the concept of mathematical models. In this mathematical model instructional activity, students create a mathematical model from data from 4 cities over 15 months. Students are told they are working for a weather...

Students create graphs and tables, as well as interpret and make inferences from the data shown to determine when and where graphs and tables are most useful.

Second graders work with pumpkins to estimate, then accumulate data about pumpkin seeds. After cleaning out the pumpkins, 2nd graders utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan which has a variety of pumpkin math activities they can do.

Students graph fruit. For this graphing lesson students create a graph using fruit label stickers. Students place a sticker on the graph when the fruit has been consumed.

Students create graphs of circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students use Microsoft Excel to create graphs. They construct the graphs using paper and pencil as well as the computer.

Young scholars use commercial software to organize and visually display data to draw conclusions; students use graphing software to create several types of graphs illustrating the number of each color of M&M's in one bag.

Students collect and Analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students identify the line of best fit of the graph. They classify lines as having positive, negative and no correlation.

Students complete three parts of an "Organizning and Reading Data" worksheet. First, they go over the rubric to determine the work will be scored. They organize data by taking tallies, make a pictograph and a bar graph using the data....

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.

Students inquire about animals using SIRS Discoverer or eLibrary Elementary.  In this organizing data lesson, students sort pictures of animals in various ways and develop graphs. Students locate a mammal, reptile, fish, insect or...

Pupils examine the diet of panthers. In this interpreting data lesson, students collect data on the panther's diet and chart the data in bar and pie graphs.

Students create a spreadsheet and graph using Open House attendance data.

Students analyze and represent weekly sales figures using tables, bar graphs, and pie charts. They draw conclusions using bar graphs and pie charts. Students are told that each day at school they have the option of buying or bringing a...

Students complete data organization activities. In this data organization lesson, students watch online clips about organizing data. Students complete an eye color frequency table for their class. Students watch a clip...
