Fourth graders read "The Far Away Drawer" by Harriet Diller and discuss the story as a class. After discussion, 4th graders create a t-shirt GLYPH about their hopes and dreams,share their information with the class and create spreadsheets.

Students find an advertisement or newspaper using charts or graphs. They create another graph using the same information in a different format. They write a comparison of the two graphs.

Students explore data. They gather data and generate questions about the data in pictographs, tallies, tables, and bar graphs. Students use color tiles pulled by random to create their own bar graph. They discuss the bar graphs they...

Students analyze data.  For this secondary mathematics lesson, students read and retrieve data from a statistical table on the Canadian fishing industry.  Students interpret and describe data in mathematical terms and make...

Students develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...

Seventh graders visually represent and analyze data using a frequency table. They recognize what values in a data set are bigger by looking at a bar graph and answer questions about certain bar graphs and what they represent. Students...

Middle schoolers analyze data about various climates in Canada. In this data analysis and climate lesson, students use Canada Year Book 1999 to complete a worksheet and make connections between precipitation and temperature in different...

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

Young scholars interpret historical evidence presented in primary and secondary resources. In this British Columbia history lesson, students read and analyze data regarding 1870 Canadian census data. Young...

Students explore New France. In this New France lesson, students examine census data compiled by Jean Talon in 1665 and 1666. Students take on the role of Talon trying to convince the King of France to increase his investment in New...

Students collect data on calorie intake. For this algebra lesson, students use the collection of data to make better eating decisions. They investigate the nutritional value in food using a graph and draw conclusion from their findings.

Students explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics instructional activity, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must...

Students list data collected by marine buoys and the different kinds of moored buoys. They describe how data is transmitted worldwide. They explain the difference between near shore and offshore air and water temperatures.

Students collect and analyze variable data and understand the concept of electrical power.  In this energy lesson plan students use a spreadsheet to manage their data and create box plots. 

Students explore mean, median and mode. In this math lesson, students analyze temperature data and figure the mean, median, and mode of the data. Students graph the data in a bar graph.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of graphing and comparing different types of data using pictographs, line graphs, scatter plots, etc... They gather data and make interpretations while examining the medium of how it is displayed.

Students investigate the patterns of different data sets of numbers. They use critical thinking skills in order to find the missing numbers in any given set. This lesson helps to develop the skill of number sense.

Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

Students create a spreadsheet and graph using Open House attendance data.

Young scholars study information for fish farm workers given in the form of a chart, in order to practice interpreting data while learning about the career of a fisherman. In this data interpretation lesson, students read the chart to...

Students examine how to use GIS software to analyze patterns of groundwater flow. Seepage lake elevation data from the Sand Hills of Nebraska is used to construct a water table map and flow net using Esri's Arc Map software.

Students identify function using tables of data. In this algebra activity, students create a tale of point and plot on a coordinate plane. They analyze the graph as being a function or not.

Sixth graders investigate averages and statistics by discovering magnet strengths.  In this magnet experiment lesson, 6th graders utilize different magnets and attempt to attract different materials to them.  Students record...

Candy is always an effective motivator! A fun math activity uses M&M's and Skittles to explore two-way frequency tables and conditional probability. The candy can serve a dual purpose as manipulatives and experimental data.
