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

Students examine a science journal to develop an understanding of graphs in science.  In this data analysis lesson, students read an article from the Natural Inquirer and discuss the meaning of the included graph.  Students...

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...

Delve into graphing! The concepts covered begin with basic graphing basic coordinates and algebraic expressions on coordinate planes, and build up to graphing linear inequalities and equations. Learners solve and simplify various...

Pupils concentrate on discrete quantiative data. They are shown that the vertical line diagram as a more appropriate way to present discrete quantiative data then bar charts. Students work as a group to help with the interpretation of...

Students practice sampling and graphing techniques. In this data collection and interpretation lesson, students write and conduct surveys about chocolate preferences and then collect their data. Students graph the data in order to...

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. For this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a coordinate plane.

Students engage in the use of technology to investigate the mathematical concepts of probability and graphing. They use the skills of predicting an outcome to come up with reasonable possibilities. Students also practice using a...

Fifth graders estimate the prices of items to be bought for back to school. They use catalogs and/or advertisements to research the cost of each of the items. They use problem solving strategies and a spreadsheet template to determine...

Students perform activities involving ratios, proportions and percents. Given a newspaper article, groups of students count the number of letters in a given area. They use calculators and data collected to construct a pie chart and bar...

Students discover how to find the mean, median, and mode from sets of data. By using statistical techniques such as whisker plots and bar graphs, they display the data gleaned from problems. Individually, students complete projects...

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Young scholars, review the techniques and different types of data analysis as well as how they are expressed, identify why facts and data are needed in conclusion of a questionnaire. The concepts of qualitative and quantitative data are...

Students investigate the concept of fraction and tangible application. For this algebra lesson, students use fractions to solve real life scenarios. They convert between fractions and decimals and identify the numerator and denominator.

Fifth graders create graphs based on climate in South Carolina. They read and interpret information in a chart and construct a graphy from the information in the chart. They create a spreadsheet using Excel and publish 2 graphs.

Fifth graders record the amount of time they spend sleeping, attending school, watching T.V., exercising and doing homework. At the end of the week they graph all of their information and discuss how sleep impacts their learning....

Here is another version of the classic M&M math lesson. For this one, upper graders utilize the ClarisWorks Spreadsheet program in order to document the data they come up with from their bags of M&M's. After making their initial...

Third graders talk about all the various ways they get to school. They make a list of all the bus numbers that the students use. They also list all the other methods of transportation used and solidify a hypothesis.

Your class can practice collecting and analyzing data. They extrapolate information and derive data from fire season statistics. They also choose the most appropriate format to display collected data.

Students employ statistics to solve real-world problems. They collect, organize and describe data. They make inferences based on data analysis. They construct, read, and interpret tables, charts and graphs.

High schoolers analyze and integrate mathematical concepts within the context of social studies. They gather, present and analyze information on a bar graph, pie chart, etc. Students compute ratios. They demonstrate that ratios have...

Eighth graders pick a topic or person to research related to the history of mathematics. They brainstorm and create a concept map, using the multimedia software inspiration, about what they are researching and want to examine. They then...

Students utilize a computer spreadsheet to record and analyze data. In this problem solving lesson, students compare their hand size to that of the principal. Students understand standard and nonstandard measurement.

Students investigate color distribution in bags of M&Ms They sort and classify the contents of a bag of M&Ms and summarize their findings on a worksheet. Students convert the numbers into charts and make predictions about color...
