Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Pupils participate in a simulation of a parachute-jump competition by making paper parachutes and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the paper parachute lands compared to the...

Seventh graders list the features of an ecosystem and identify local bird species.  In this bird lesson students work in groups to formulate a hypothesis and test their theory by collecting and analyzing data. 

Students create a graph that showcases their pick for favorite kind of apple. Students are given samples of a variety of apples to determine their favorite in a taste test. They a create a tally chart of favorite kinds apples and use a...

Second graders gather information in a survey and interpret the results using a tally chart, a table, and a bar graph. They' present their results of the during the final group discussion. The subject of the survey is favorite stuffed...

Students compare data and determine the appropriate way to organize the data. They use physical graphs, pictographs, and symbolic graphs to display their data. In addition, they complete a Venn diagram.

Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps" and...

Students collect data. In this math lesson, students collect data about recyclable materials. Students develop a plan that will help the environment. Recycling plastic containers is discussed.

Practice creating frequency tables from small data sets. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice reading basic dot plots and frequency tables. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this exercise, students practice creating frequency tables. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Several problems are presented to test your skills in creating and interpreting frequency tables, pie charts, box-and-whisker and stem-and-leaf plots.

Practice computing the median of data sets presented in a variety of formats, such as frequency tables and dot plots. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This is the second chapter of a statistics e-text developed collaboratively by Rice University, University of Houston Clear Lake, and Tufts University. It looks at many different types of data displays and the advantages and...

Practice interpreting and comparing dot plots, histograms, and box plots. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice creating dot plots. Dot plots are very similar to frequency tables, but they make it easier to see the data. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Richland Community College provides a glossary of many terms that are needed in order to understand statistics graphs and charts. Each of the types of charts is quickly explained in terms of what it is most effective in displaying.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students draw conclusions and engage in tables and charts involving cumulative frequency; a wonderful review of student's knowledge.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Here you will explore displays of data using bar charts, histograms, pie charts and boxplots, and learn about the differences and similarities between them and how...

Help Max make a bar graph to show the hair colors of his classmates. Teachers will appreciate the activities with bar graphs in the extra challenges. Use the teacher's guide to create a fun and engaging lesson.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

Students will demonstrate how to interpret information in a table.

A sample problem is provided to help you create a histogram using a frequency distribution chart. Sample charts and formulas are provided to help explain how to find the area of the rectangles in the histogram and how to interpret what...
