Using a carousel activity, class members gain an understanding of the idea of inferences by using pictures then connecting them to mathematics. Groups discuss their individual problems prior to sharing them with the entire class....

What's your favorite pizza topping? Scholars analyze two bar graphs, one depicting a math club's favorite pizza toppings and the other ice cream sales per flavor. As they examine the graphs, learners answer a few comprehension questions....

Let's take a look at Luis' bike ride! Scholars examine a line graph charting a 20-kilometer bike ride over the course of six hours. They answer six questions about the data requiring the understand the concepts of each axis and the line...

Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Encourage kids to read line graphs with confidence using these examples and accompanying comprehension questions. Learners examine two graphs and answer four questions about each. This is definitely intended for beginners to this type of...

In this modeling data activity, learners use quadratic functions to model data using three different methods.  This activity provides explanations and an example.  Additionally, students are given the steps to find the maximum...

Plot data for three word problems, each with a table of data. Learners create line plots for these, all of which have only single-digit whole numbers. The large text and few number of problems make this ideal as a whole-class warm up....

The Easter Bunny left us a bunch of eggs, but how many did he leave? Learners use the data to create a picture graph, interpret it, and answer the questions that follow. There's even easy egg cut-outs for your youngsters! 

Give AP Calculus classes the opportunity to check the accuracy of their calculations! A calculus activity involves the collection of data, the application of mathematics, and the analysis of the accuracy of results. Young mathematicians...

Use measures of variance to compare and analyze data sets. Pupils match histograms of data sets to their respective statistical measures. They then use calculated statistics to further analyze groups of data and use the results to make...

Graph growth in the US. Given population and area data for the United States for a period of 200 years, class members create graphs to interpret the growth over time. Graphs include population, area, population density, and population...

For this chemistry worksheet, students examine the common characteristics of an acceptable graph that is meant to be used to display data.

How long do we have to wait? Given several days of times between eruptions of Old Faithful, learners create a graphical representation for two days. Groups combine their data to determine an appropriate wait time between eruptions.

Understanding and analyzing data is a critical skill. Included here are three worksheets a list of countries with the largest oil reserves, a graph of the same, and an assignment. The class uses their data to create a bar chart then...

Which graph belongs to which summary statistics? Class members build upon their knowledge of data displays and numerical summaries to connect the two. Pupils make connections between different graphical displays of the same data in...

Is the gestation length of an animal a predictor of the average life expectancy of that animal? Learners analyze similar data for more than 50 different animals. They choose a data display and draw conclusions from their graphs.

Graph quadratic functions and find the zero in this worksheet. Twelve problems range from those that could be quickly factored and graphed, to those that require use of the quadratic formula and their graphs approximated. Solutions...

In this collecting and analyzing data learning exercise, students collect data from an experimental investigation about the relationship between the color of a Tootsie Roll Pop and the time it takes to get to the chocolate center. ...

In this using a bar graph to solve word problems worksheet, students choose and analyze data to problem solve. Students solve six problems.

Examine different types of graphs as a means for analyzing data. Math scholars identify the type of graph from a series of data displays and then develop questions to match each one. Then, given a scatter plot of height versus age...

Scatter plots tell a story about the data — you just need to be able to read it! Building from the previous lesson in the series where learners created scatter plots, they now learn how to find associations in those scatter plots....

Whiskers are not just for cats! Pupils create box-and-whisker plots from given data sets. They analyze the data using the graphs as their guide.

Fifth and sixth graders sort data from least to greatest and mark an X on the line plot to show how many of each number. Then they determine the range, mode, and median for the problem.

Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...
