Not all data is the same. Using the interactive, pupils compare data represented in two different ways. The learners develop an understanding of the difference between discrete and continuous data and the different ways to represent each...

Histograms are likely to give birth to a variety of conclusions. Given the likelihood a woman is to give birth after a certain number of weeks, pupils create a histogram. The scholars use the histogram to analyze the data and answer...

Take the tediousness out of graphing. Using the interactive tool, learners can efficiently create a line graph from a set of data. They then use the graph to answer questions about specific trends in the data.

Create a history of car sales. Pupils create a histogram/bar graph to show the number of car sales made during the week. Using the data display, learners calculate numerical summaries of the data and find the percent of cars sold during...

Examine the unique graphs coined broken-line graphs. Using the phase change of water for data, learners answer questions related to the temperature and energy at different times in the cycle of the phase change. Questions focus on the...

What information can your class determine if they know the number of people attending movie showings? Using the information about the number of people at each screening, learners develop a frequency table. The pupils analyze the type of...

Given populations of the five Northwestern states, learners create a circle graph. Using the data and the pie chart, they make comparisons between the populations of the states. Finally, the pupils determine how the chart will change...

It's just the way the cookie crumbles. Using the data from a class poll, learners create a double bar graph showing favorite cookie types. The pupils compare favorites between boys and girls with the aid of their graphs, then they make...

Raise the bar for hockey fans. Using data about favorite hockey teams, pupils build a bar graph. They use the information from the graph to make comparisons and solve one- and two-step problems.

Become a master at creating visual displays. Using a provided list of heights, users of the interactive create a bar graph and a histogram. They answer a set of challenge questions based on these data representations.

See how your data stacks up. Pupils stack crates of oranges in increasing order, creating a simple bar graph. Using the graph, individuals determine measures of center and describe the shape of the distribution. Scholars determine what...

Explore line graphs and their characteristics through an interactive lesson. Scholars follow a set of directions to plot data on a line graph. They then answer questions about the type of variables, minimum and maximum values, and...

How is a mean affected by changes in data? A well-designed animation allows individuals to manipulate data and watch the effect on the mean. Challenge questions help guide users to conclusions about outliers and skew within data.

Who wouldn't want to wear four pairs of sunglasses? Each pair of sunglasses reduces the percent of incoming light by one-half. An interactive tutorial helps young mathematicians build a graph that models this scenario. They...

Using the interactive, pupils create a pie chart that represents the percentage of sodas bought for a party. Individuals need to determine the percentage and number for the final variety of drinks. The learners determine how the...

Why do some things float and others sink? A creative simulation allows learners to adjust mass and volume of an object to affect its buoyancy in water. A graph records the effect of each manipulation.

Connect the dots on frequency. Given a distribution table of scores on an assessment, learners create a frequency polygon by moving points on a graph to the correct frequency. The pupils use the display to answer questions about the...

In a simple circuit, does electricity start instantly? A simulation encourages thinking about the flow of electrons at a microscopic level. Pupils control the voltage, resistance, and switch in order to observe the change in both ideal...

Did you know physicists can identify new particles by observing the path they take in a particle accelerator? Scholars explore the variables that determine the direction and radius of the circular path different particles take. They...
