How far can you throw a paper airplane? Learners conduct a brief experiment to collect data for a line plot. As a class, learners will collect, interpret, and illustrate data. In order to adapt this to CCSS.Math.Content.4MD.3 or...

How many ways can you think of to display data? A quick video lesson describes the process of creating one of them, a line graph, which is also referred to as a frequency polygon. After creating the graph, the instructor models how to...

Creating a cumulative frequency graph is one thing, reading them is another. A thorough video lesson explains how to find key information from a cumulative frequency graph. The instructor demonstrates the best way to read the graph and...

What's the difference between frequency and cumulative frequency? Young scholars consider the question as they create a cumulative frequency graph. They watch as the frequency totals grow to create a new shape of the graph.

How many raisins are in the box? Pupils count the number of raisins in a box and combine their data with the class data. Using different displays, class members develop an answer to the statistical question.

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...

Tally ho! Represent the frequency of ages at school. Pupils finish a tally chart to match the frequencies of ages at school. Using the frequencies, the learners create a histogram. With the aid of the histogram and the frequency table,...

Frequency polygons are a different way to represent frequencies over intervals. Pupils take frequencies for intervals of data from a frequency table and plot them as a frequency polygon. Budding mathematicians find information about the...

The mean might not always be the best representation of the average. The assessment task has individuals determine the measures of center for the salaries of a company. They determine which of the three would be the best representation...

Sprechen sie Deutsch? Future cryptographers must decide whether an unknown text is written in English or in German. They use provided pie charts about the frequency of words in the English and German languages to help make their decisions.

The class gets their mean and median all in a row with an assessment task that uses a population of ducklings to work with data displays and measures of central tendency. Pupils create a frequency chart and calculate the mean and median....

There are many different options for graphing data, which can be overwhelming even for experienced mathematcians. This time, the focus is on histograms and Venn diagrams that highlight the frequency of a range of data and overlap of...

After watching a brief instructional video, young mathematicians are put to the test. By completing and reading frequency tables, tally charts, and bar graphs, individuals show their understanding of how to interpret data.

The finer points of telling the difference between cumulative and frequency histograms are laid out with clear examples for how to get from one to the other. From defining vocabulary through converting charted data to histogram form,...

Tally Marks are a wonderful way to keep track of data, and to foster counting for your young mathematicians. This resource has learners identify the correct number of tally marks for a given number. The numbers used are: 13, 15, 17, and...

Introduce your first graders to the world of tally marks, bar graphs, and the organization of data. Pupils determine a favorite ice cream flavor based on tally marks, then use a bar graph to answer some questions about sports. There are...

Keep count with tally marks! First graders practice reading tally marks with this straightforward learning exercise. They work with interpreting data from a chart, as well as working with addition and subtraction under 20. A great math...

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze data from four different activities. The activities include information about classmates, tallying colors of cars in a parking lot, stem and leaf plots, and making a histogram from winning...

Second graders listen to and dicuss the story Where the Wild Things Are. They play a pantomime game and act out various feelings so their classmates can guess. They listen for the frequency of certain words, and record their findings on...

Give the class an opportunity to practice using tally marks as a way to collect data. As you progress through the slide show, learners tally up the number and types of pets they see, they then use their data to create a tally chart....

Help kids understand how to collect data through surveys, organize data in a bar chart, then analyze their findings. There are three different surveys for learners to conduct, a full description of all the parts of a bar chart, and three...

Introduce youngsters to creating basic bar graphs with this resource. First, they must count the number of cubes, spheres, cones, cylinders, and square pyramids. Then, using the graph provided, they must plot the information. A great...

How many tallies do you see? Learners examine eighteen sets of tally marks with values from 1-18, writing the number value beside them. Depending on how you want to use this, you may want to cut these out and have learners rearrange them...

First and second graders participate in an experiment then create a table of tally marks to identify the totals. They problem solve, tally twenty experiences, and generate an answer to one question.
