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

Fifth graders analyze data from a simple table. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders compare distributions.  Students recognize that the mean helps them find the formula.  Students answer questions on the mean, median, and range.

Students identify patterns and compute formulas to solve the problems. In this algebra lesson, students come up with a rule given a pattern, and analyze the relationship between data and graphs.

Learners analyze and interpret data related to the crew and passengers of the Titanic. They research information on a Titanic database to illustrate specific statistical conclusions, and whether or not social status affected the outcome.

In this math worksheet, students spend a week collecting information on either the word or U.S. populations from the U.S. Census Bureau Web site. Students record their data in a chart and bar graph. Students also use the website to...

Students analyze the data collected in the school lighting audit. They work together to write recommendations for more efficient lighting for their school. They practice using new vocabulary and working together with others.

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson plan, students use circle, pie, bar and lines to represent data. They analyze the data and make predictions bases on the scatter plots created.

Fifth graders collect data and use charts and line plots to graph data. Through class surveys, 5th graders collect data concerning a particular subject. They graph their data using a line graph. Students make inferences and predictions...

Students explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...

Students conduct a traffic survey and interpret their data and use graphs and charts to display their results.

Students research different statistics to do with the Mississippi River. They answer questions about finding data and collect it by conducting research. The research is used to construct a data table. Then students use the table to...

Students research and organize information about allergies. In this data collection lesson, students watch a video about allergies. Students create a histogram using the information collected. Students complete the 'Displaying Survey...

Students examine population growth and collect data. In this statistics lesson, students create a scatter plot to represent the different species found in the water and are being harvested. They graph their data and draw conclusion from it.

Students interpret and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they investigate which solar collector, black, white, or silver, absorbs the most heat.  Students examine...

Students choose natural phenomena to research. They design and conduct experiments or simulations. Students predict, gather, and analyze data. They graph the results using a spreadsheet software.

Students study the difference between weather and climate.  In this climate systems lesson plan students search the Internet for the parts of the Earth's system, gather climate data and complete a challenge scenario. 

Ninth graders discover how statistics are used to interpret results of scientific experiments. Students write hypotheses and test the hypotheses by collecting data and organizing the data. Students graph their data to produce a visual....

Students engage in a study of science and mathematics with the practice of creating graphs. A guest speaker comes to the class to share statistics from the community and the students are shown how he uses the coordinate system in the...

Students participate in a WebQuest in which they must determine which amusement park is the "median priced" park. Students visit park websites to accumulate prices for parking, activities, restaurants, and gift shops.

Is it possible to solve quadratic equations by factoring? It is, and your class will graph quadratic equation and functions too. They perform transformation on their graphs showing increasing and decreasing intervals, domain, and range....

First graders study daily weather changes. In this weather and graphing instructional activity, 1st graders chart the daily weather for a month using stickers or weather symbols. They graph the weekly weather so that at the end of the...

Students carry out a cost analysis. In this comparative math instructional activity, students compare the cost of equal measures of gasoline to mouthwash, house paint, fruit juice, white-out, and other liquids.

Students take personal fitness inventories. In this personal health lesson, students take measurements of their heights and weights. Students record the data, calculate their BMI, and then chart their physical activity.

A great year-round activity that shows young mathematicians how the math skills they are learning are actually used in the real world. This exercise also helps learners begin to distinguish the difference between weather and climate. As...
