There are many different options for graphing data, which can be overwhelming even for experienced mathematcians. This time, the focus is on histograms and Venn diagrams that highlight the frequency of a range of data and overlap of...

Demonstrate several ways to represent data with your class. They will use surveys to gather data and display the data using tally charts and graphs. Then answer questions according to the data.

Second graders gather and graph data.  In this graphing instructional activity, 2nd graders collect data and graph this information using tally charts, bar graphs, pictographs, or tables. They make predictions about the outcomes.

Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages.  In this organizing data lesson, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs.  Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.

Students practice graphing activities. In this graphing lesson, students discuss ways to collect data and complete survey activities. Students visit a table and graphs website and then a create a graph website to practice graphing.

Seventh graders review different types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, box & whisker plots. As a class, they read a story and construct graphs to solve the data in the story. Students play "Graph Jeopardy" which requires...

Students complete activities using a frequency table and construct a pie graph for the data. In this frequency table lesson, students complete a survey to find data for a frequency table. Students use the given link to make a pie graph...

Students gather information and interpret the results using a tally chart, a table, and a bar graph.

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...

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...

Study the difference between mass and weight. Your math group will compare the weight of an item to the amount of space that it uses. They'll then use conversion factors to find the difference between kilograms and pounds. Essential...

Seventh graders explore estimation, measurement, and probability. Students conduct surveys and create charts & graphs. They study the history of chocolate. Students design their own magazine advertisement or create a script for a...

Seventh graders explore bar graphs and pie charts. Given a pack of M&Ms, 7th graders explore the colors, sort the data in a frequency chart and then construct bar graphs and pie charts to categorize the M&Ms by color. Students...

Build boxes using unit cubes to compare surface area and volume. The group performs multiple experiments to determine properties of volume, such as if it makes a difference which order the dimensions are multiplied in. Extensive...

First graders analyze nursery rhymes and gather data about word frequency. In this frequency lesson, 1st graders create graphs and tables. Students interpret the data.

Students collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

First graders learn how to display data using a bar graph. In this bar graph lesson, 1st graders use data from a t-shirt color survey to make a bar graph. They also make an animal bar graph before interpreting the information.

Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

Not all pie graphs are about pies. The class conducts a survey on favorite fast food categories in a activity on data representation. Pupils use the results to create a circle graph.

Students investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson plan, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

Young scholars create graphs of circles. In this geometry lesson, students use Microsoft Excel to create graphs. They construct the graphs using paper and pencil as well as the computer.

Students explore the concept of central tendencies. In this central tendencies lesson, students sort M&M's or Skittles based on color. Students graph their results. Students find the mean, median, and mode of their data.

Light waves and sound waves are the focus of this science instructional activity designed for 5th graders. Besides discovering how these waves travel, learners also discover the basic properties of waves, and analyze data tables and...

Students double check their data collections of Top 20 singles that they've been collecting for several days. Types of data is reviewed in detail and a variety of questions are asked for retention factors of mastery. They draw a tally...
