This template is just begging for your young mathematicians to fill it in with colorful bar graphs! With horizontal and vertical axes in place and grid lines for added support, this is a great resource for teaching children how...

Sixth graders compare and contrast bar and line graphs. Using a weather forecast of the area, 6th graders record the high and low temperatures in a table. Students determine and justify the most appropriate graph to display a given set...

Pupils explore how to use and interpret graphs. The graphs are pulled from a variety of sources, and the activities ask students to interpret graphs. They start this lesson with knowledge of what a graph is. Pupils also know how to...

Second graders study graphing using pictographs and bar graphs. They graph pie charts, line graphs, and also change the graph scale up to 1000. They use the pictograph on the left to create the same graph on the right using a bar graph.

Have a hopping good time teaching your class how to collect and graph data with this fun activity-based activity series. Using the provided data taken from a frog jumping contest, children first work...

Inflate this unit on the science of air with these math skills practice and word problems. Accompanying the children's story Mr. Slaptail's Secret, this resource covers a wide range of math topics including the four basic...

Seventh graders review different types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, box & whisker plots. As a class, they read a story and construct graphs to solve the data in the story. Students play "Graph Jeopardy" which requires...

Learners are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Students differentiate between bar graphs, line graphs, pictographs and bar graphs. After participating in a hands-on cookie activity, students label and draw their own graphs.

Middle schoolers create a variety of graphs based on population data. In this statistics lesson, students use data that can be gathered on-line to make a bar chart, line graph, and circle graph.

Create a survey and graph! In this graphing instructional activity, students listen to a story about pets, create a survey for family and friends about what pets they own, and use the information to create a bar and line graph.

Students explore bar and line graphs. In this data collection, graphing, and weather lesson, students compare bar and line graphs and discuss which type of graph would be most appropriate for displaying a ten day weather forecast....

Students analyze data and create a line graph. In this graphing lesson, students explore data from a previous experiment and plot the information on a line graph. Students analyze their findings.

Fifth graders interpret line graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders first begin by reviewing the difference in bar and line graphs and what they are used for. Students practice interpreting the data on various line graphs and using...

Pupils create a bar graph. They will collect and organize data to turn into bar graphs. They create graphs for the favorite sports of the class, color of M&M's, and types of cars passing by.

Make a splash with a math skills resource! Starring characters from the children's story Mystery of the Muddled Marsh, several worksheets create interdisciplinary connections between science, language arts, and math. They...

Students practice graphing activities. For this graphing lesson, students discuss ways to collect data and complete survey activities. Students visit a table and graphs website and then a create a graph website to practice graphing.

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Students review graphing terminology and how to plot data points, how to input data into a spreadsheet, and how to make a chart using a computer.

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot lesson, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

Students identify real graphs and misleading graphs. In this algebra lesson, students surf the Internet for real life scenarios where graphs are used in a misleading way as well as in a correct way.

Students create and interpret line plots, bar graphs, and circle graphs. The lesson assumes mastery of conversions from fraction to decimal to percent, construction of angles, and at least an introduction to graphs displaying data.
