Students work in teams to conduct short surveys of their classmates. They show their results using at least two different types of graphs. Students separate into teams and are asked that each team to choose something that they are...

Students write equations for parabolas, circles and lines. In groups, they use computer software to play a game with circles, lines and parabolas. Students play games on the computer to find the equations for the given shape.

Students create a circle using the taxi-cab metric. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They identify the idea of geometric shapes and how they come about.

Third graders examine the main parts of a bar graph and how to round up to the nearest tenth. They make an example of a bar graph and answer questions based on the graph using a list of state capitals and their average temperatures....

Third graders research their genealogy. In this math lesson, 3rd graders collect data and create graphs and charts. A presentation of their findings is given.

Sixth graders create and use a spreadsheet to make graphs which will be used to analyze Progress Report and Final Report Card grades. They practice finding the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set. Students also incorporate column...

Students used collected data to distinguish what pets they have or would like to have. They correlate findings with appropriate technology--Excel. At the end of the lesson they tabulate a bar chart and present their findings to the class.

Young scholars graph and plot numbers and analyze their data. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different properties of a stem and leaf plot. They decide which type of graph to use when it comes time to analyze their data.

Elementary learners explore coin mint dates. First, they listen to the book Alexander Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst. They then sort a collection of coins according to their mint date and put them in order from oldest...
