Elementary schoolers make and use bar graphs to picture information. They learn how choosing the right scale for a bar graph can help make a persuasive argument. This is a terrific lesson on graphing which should excite your kids. There...

Young scholars explore graphing. In this graphing lesson, students predict how many shoe eyelets are present in the classroom. Young scholars count eyelets and work in groups to organize and chart the data collected. Students put all the...

Students investigate circle and bar graphs.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students determine which kind of graph is suitable for a given situation and create circle and bar graphs.

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...

Measure a tree? Yes, measure a tree! Students get outside and measure a tree's trunk, crown, and height. Each group compares their answers to determine if any re-measuring is necessary. Once back in the classroom, students make bar...

Students explore geography by answering study questions in class. In this plate tectonics lesson, students identify the earthquake data concerning the country of New Zealand and answer questions regarding the data. Students identify...

Students determine the mass of various objects. In this integrated math and science lesson, students use an arm balance to compare a known object to a combination of washers with a fixed weight. Students record data, construct a bar...

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.

Students measure the flight of a gilder. In this fight of angles instructional activity, students explore the flight of a glider and measure the distance flown. They collect statistical data of the flights and determine the slope of...

Young scholars discuss line graphs and scatter plots and the best situations in which to use them. Using the graphs, they determine the type of correlation between variables on a scatterplot. They create a scatterplot and line graph...

Young scholars collect data on baseball plays. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions based on their observation. They calculate what the probability is that a favorable outcome would happen.

Eighth graders investigate Newton's Law of Inertia in order to create a context for the review of the use of different types of graphs. They practice gathering the data from an experiment and put it into the correct corresponding graph.

Students analyze and record data. In this lesson about graphing and gathering data, students learn about the step of an experiment. Students learn new vocabulary, sort beans, record the data, and graph the data. Students add a variable...
