Math is all fun and games with this activity! Learners use an activity designed around hula hoops to collect data. They create scatter plots with their data and then analyze the graphs for correlation. 

The task? Determine the how effective hospitals are at reducing the rate of hospital-acquired infections. The method? Data analysis! Using an open source software program, individuals use provided data and create scatterplots to look for...

Students model quadratic and linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve word problems using equations. They create scatter plots and make predictions using correlations.

Become a bean counter. Pupils use a fun activity to design and execute an experiment to determine whether they can grab more beans with their dominant hand or non-dominant hand. They use the class data to create scatter plots and then...

Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

Ninth graders explore linear functions.  In this Algebra I instructional activity, 9th graders collect and analyze date as they investigate the question of how long will water last if you are trapped in a desert. ...

Eighth graders use data from surveys conducted with parents, peers and themselves to create computer-generated scatterplots. They make inferences from their scatterplots.

Learners explore the concept of interpreting data. In this interpreting data lesson, students make a line plot of themselves according to the number of cubes they can hold in their hand. Learners create their own data to graph and...

Students analyze patterns of exponential models by collecting data in paper folding and M&M investigations. They use graphing calculators to create scatter plots that lead to equations for the exponential models. They then apply this...

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. For this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

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 linear regression. In this linear regression lesson, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of best...

Learners create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra lesson plan, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

Pupils use the provided census data to guess the future height of a child. They organize and plot the data, solve for the line of best fit, and determine the likely height and range for a specific age. 

Students explore the concept of statistical data. For this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...

Students explore the characteristics of sets and Venn Diagrams. Given data, students practice determining the placement of elements in a Venn Diagram. Students discuss the correspondence between data sets and their graphical...
