Ninth graders examine the application of statistical sampling, data collection, analysis, and representation that exists in schooling and teenage lifestyles in Japan and the United States.
Students examine the meaning of data and data collection, represent data in various ways, and make a bar graph.
Students solve real world story problems using algebra. In this algebra problem solving lesson, students use information about bone measurement to predict gender using algebraic equations. Students organize data, represent the information on a graph, and write an explanation of how they used the data to draw a conclusion. Several similar story problems are given for group solving activities.
Young scholars get the opportunity to investigate the concept of data collecting. They explore how to tally and read a bar graph. Vocabulary about data is also be included. At the end of the lesson, individual students collect data independently.
Students read, construct, and interpret simple bar graph, identify, and describe various forms of data collection in their world, classify objects according to similar attributes, and use a digital camera for information collection and analysis.
Students preview a copy of the lab experience and "cookbook translator" prior to the actual lab experience. They participate in the lab experience and complete the "cookbook translator" for evaluation at the completion of the laboratory experience.
Young mathematicians explore data collection and mathematical problem solving. They will work in cooperative groups to determine the height of a tree by measuring several predetermined distances on the ground. They will use the data collected to set up mathematical ratio problems and calculate the height of the tree.
Learners explore data collection and graphing. They will work in groups to determine the best tool to use for hand span measurement. They also collect hand span data and the whole class organizes data on a plot line graph.
Students collect data about the brightness of different light bulbs. In this data collection about the brightness of different light bulbs lesson, students determine the relationship of various watt light bulbs. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students find a linear model to fit the data.
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 them to the class. Many cross-curricular lesson links related to this lesson are included in this spectacular plan.
