Students look at data in graphs with missing labels and use what they know about graphs to label the topics, titles, and axes of the graph. For this graph lesson plan, students pretend they are news reporters and have to fix their stories!

Students are introduced to the organization of data This lesson is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...

Students practice an alternative form of data presentation. They practice sequencing data, identifying the stem-and-leaf, creating stem-and-leaf plots, and drawing inferences from the data by viewing the plots.

Second graders work with pumpkins to estimate, then accumulate data about pumpkin seeds. After cleaning out the pumpkins, 2nd graders utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan which has a variety of pumpkin math activities they can do.

Students collect and analyze data based on academic performance. In this statistics lesson, students create graphs and analyze the data they created. They use positive, negative and no correlation to analyze the data.

Eighth graders create a survey, gather data and describe the data using measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and spread (range, quartiles, and interquartile range). Students use these measures to interpret, compare and...

There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Use a box of raisins to help introduce the concept of data analysis. Learners collect, analyze and display their data using a variety of methods. The included worksheet takes them through a step-by-step analysis process and graphing.

Pupils collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, learners create a scatter plot from their collected data. They use, tables and graphs to analyze the data and mae decisions.

Here is a classic activity used to introduce your class to the concept of probability and data collection. They will roll one die 30 times, then record and discuss the results. Great introduction, but too shallow to be considered a...

Guide high school meteorologists through a detailed examination of oxygen concentration data. The learners analyze a line graph containing logarithmic data and employ the use of a graphing calculator. A comprehensive worksheet and links...

Middle schoolers apply properties of probability to the real world. In this probability instructional activity, learners simulate the construction of empirical distribution. They collect and analyze data using central tendencies.

Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.
