In this statistics activity, students graph their data using frequency histograms, bar graphs and tables. They decide which graph shows the data best. There are 6 graphing problems.

Students examine hurricanes. In this web-based meteorology instructional activity, students study the relationship between ocean temperature and hurricane intensity. They differentiate between intensity and frequency of hurricanes.

Help kids understand how to collect data through surveys, organize data in a bar chart, then analyze their findings. There are three different surveys for learners to conduct, a full description of all the parts of a bar chart, and three...

A helpful and versatile worksheet requires young mathematicians to analyze data in order to create graphs and answer questions. Additionally, it prompts learners to find the mean, median, mode, and range of some of the data sets.

Students examine school yearbooks from 1950 to the present. They count the number of male and female teachers and administrators. They compile date and extrapolate changes in job trends.

In this statistics worksheet, 11th graders collect data and organize it using a frequency table. They plot their data and analyze it using stem and leaf plots. There are 3 questions with an answer key.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students construct and analyze histograms to develop a visual impression of the distributions of data.  The two page worksheet contains five problems.  Answer key is provided. 

What's in a name? Pupils create a data set from the number of letters in the names of classmates. Each group then takes the data and creates a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, stem-and-leaf plot, etc.

Fourth graders discover the appropriate way to construct and analyze bar, line, picto, and circle graphs. They set up frequency tables and perform some statistical analysis (mean, median, and mode) on their data.

In this statistics worksheet, students solve 6 data problems. They construct a histogram of given data, they create a frequency polygon, and a stem and leaf diagram. Students create a dot plot and a pie chart for given data sets. On the...

Seventh graders will learn how to construct circle graphs using paper and pencil. Then they will learn how to construct circle graphs using Microsoft Excel. This lesson uses technology and shows learners how to cross skills into the...

What did gender have to do with the survival rates of the Donner Party? Using comparative box plots, classes compare the ages of the survivors and nonsurvivors. Using the same method, individuals make conclusions about the...
