Everything you need for a mini-unit on bar graphs is included in this lesson plan! It outlines three lessons and includes worksheets. Learners taste pretzels, shoot baskets (switching off hands), and grab candy, graphing results...

Collections of data represented in stem and leaf plots are organized by young statisticians as they embark some math engaging activities.

Students analyze a bag of Valentine candy to create a graph. For this graphing lesson, students make predictions, sort by color, record data and make a graph. Students discuss results and make generalizations. Students generate their own...

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...

Fifth graders practice using math graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders work in groups to develop a topic of their own to represent as a graph. Students collect data and construct a graph for the lesson.

Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages.  In this organizing data lesson, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs.  Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.

Second graders examine different types of graphs and discover the meanings of the symbols used on them. After gathering data about themselves, their communities, and the world, they use that information to create graphs. Among the...

Learners use commercial software to organize and visually display data to draw conclusions; students use graphing software to create several types of graphs illustrating the number of each color of M&M's in one bag.

Students investigate rational numbers through data analysis and statistics. In this algebra lesson, students represent, rename, compare and order rational numbers. They collect and represent data correctly on a graph.

Students explore the concept of probability. They calculate the probability of an event happening and graph their results. Students determine the probability of winning a sweepstakes. They construct a bar graph to represent all the...

Students explore measuring units by investigating the dimensions of different objects. In this data graphing lesson, students utilize candy, beads and fingers to measure different dimensions of geographic figures. Students create a graph...

Students categorize sweetheart candy by color or message. In this sorting and graphing instructional activity, students collect data by sorting the candy and then diagram their results in a graph.

Fifth graders complete a series of graphs by gathering information and using Excel to graph the information.  In this graphing lesson, 5th graders graph favorite desserts of the class. Student put their results into the...

Young scholars practice estimating and graphing by utilizing Skittles.  For this statistics lesson, students complete worksheets based on the likelihood of a certain color of skittle coming out of the bag.  Young scholars...

Students practice skills involving statistics and probability by making predictions on number of each color candy in one pound bag of M&Ms. They record both guesses and actual quantities, calculate percentages, and create bar graphs...

Fifth graders organize and display information in bar graph form using appropriate labels. Each student receives a box of Valentine heart candies, a worksheet of the tally chart and a worksheet of the bar graph.

Students use ClarisWorks to graph class' favorite candy bars on a bar graph.

High Schoolers use the TI-83 calculator to produce a sequence, explore patterns and find a linear or quadratic equation for a given pattern. They use inductive reasoning to make conjectures about patterns. They find the Y-value of a...

First graders sort their candy hearts into piles according to color and record a tally mark under the color for each candy heart that they have on the worksheet. They then record the total amount of tally marks for each color of candy...

Students create a spreadsheet to chart the different colors found in a package of M&M's or Skittles. They collect data, create appropriate charts, and use percentages to describe quantities.

Students create a bar graph that communicates an amount without the need to know the exact data, determine what scale to use to best represent the data and use their bar graph to persuade others.

Students identify the line of best fit. For this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They calculate the regression equations and identify the different types of correlation.

First graders explore sorting and classifying. In this math instructional activity, 1st graders sort conversation hearts based on color. Students graph their results and enjoy the candy!

Learners solve theoretical probability problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the concept of probabilities to solving real life scenarios. They collect data and graph it using experimental probability.
