Students examine primary sources in the form of auction records, create frequency charts, graphs and diagrams that they analyze to anwer questions followed by the writing of a paper that demonstrates their comprehension of the lesson.

Students explore the concept of central tendencies. In this central tendencies instructional activity, students sort M&M's or Skittles based on color. Students graph their results. Students find the mean, median, and mode of their data.

Students read graphs and charts to interpret results. In this algebra lesson, students interpret bar, line and pictographs. They draw conclusions and make predicitons based on these charts.

Students compile results in their own census. In this early childhood U. S. Census lesson plan, students collect and represent information about events in simple charts.

Light waves and sound waves are the focus of this science lesson designed for 5th graders. Besides discovering how these waves travel, learners also discover the basic properties of waves, and analyze data tables and graphs. The...

Fourth graders interpret a graph and make correlations using data. After taking a class survey, 4th graders create a class graph of their favorite planets. Working in small groups, they interpret the information and create at least ten...

Students count, sort, and classify jellybeans by color. They use their data to create a bar graph. Students are given a small bag of jellybeans, and a worksheet on Counting Candies Tally Chart. They work in small groups. Students are...

Sixth graders conduct an experiment to understand the Big Bang Theory.  In this Big Bang Theory instructional activity, 6th graders will observe a balloon with confetti popping to emulate and analyze information related tot he Big...

Young scholars explore space science by conducting an illustration activity. In this lunar instructional activity, students discuss what the moon is and the role it plays for our environment on Earth. Young scholars view images of the...

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...

Students participate in a simulation of a parachute-jump competition by making paper parachutes and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the paper parachute lands compared to...

Students investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson plan, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

Students survey the class and graph the results. In this graphing and data collection lesson, students conduct a survey to see where their shirts were produced. Individuals use software to graph the results and create a written...

Young scholars create graphs of circles. In this geometry lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to create graphs. They construct the graphs using paper and pencil as well as the computer.

Study the difference between mass and weight. Your math group will compare the weight of an item to the amount of space that it uses. They'll then use conversion factors to find the difference between kilograms and pounds. Essential...

Young mathematicians use bags of Skittles to help them gain practice in graphing and organizing data. They work in pairs, and after they have counted and organized their Skittles, they access a computer program which allows them to print...

Learners research statistics about the last five large earthquakes. They compare data in small groups and present their information orally to the class. They also attempt to predict the next large earthquake.
