Students poll classmates to gather information for a graph. They identify three types of graphs (bar, line, table). Students create each type of graph using data gathered from classmates.

Students examine and plot atmospheric data on bar graphs.

Sixth graders set up a pendulum experiment deciding which variable to manipulate (length of string or weight on the string). They create a hypothesis, collect necessary equipment, and write out each step of their experiment. They then...

Examine algebra using digital resources! Budding mathematicians will watch Cyberchase episode segments that propose a problem. Using information gathered from the video, they practice recording number patterns in several different ways:...

Fifth graders work in groups to investigate the proper use of a graph during a schoolyard ecology project. The challenge of the project is for students to choose the proper form of a graph. They gather data and conduct analysis with the...

In this intercepts and slope worksheet, learners find the slope and/or the x and y-intercepts in fifty-three problems.  Students also graph lines using the x and y-intercepts.

Beginning graphers will appreciate this practice with basic bar graphs. For each table of data, there is a corresponding graph for learners to match it to. The five data sets all have the same two...

In this science worksheet, students graph the diet of the birds for each day of the week. They sort the meals into the different types of foods categories.

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....

In this graphical representation of data and measures of central tendency worksheet, students calculate mean, median, and mode and answer questions related to graphs, tables, and pictographs.

In this linear relations worksheet, students complete a table for given functions. They classify graphs as linear or non-linear. Students graph given equations. They compare and contrast graphs. This nine page worksheet contains five...

Catapult the class into the test. Released items from the free-response section of the 2006 AP® Statistics exam ask individuals to use statistics to figure out the best catapult for determining the accuracy of thermometers. The six...

In this linear equations worksheet, learners solve 24 short answer problems about slope. Students find the slope of a line given a table, graph, two points, and the intercepts.

For this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders use the slope and y-intercept to graph a linear equation and fill in a table with the coordinates of the five points plotted.  The seven page worksheet contains fourteen problems. ...

What better way to make predictions about future weather and climate patterns than with actual climate data from the past? Young climatologists analyze data from 400,000 to 10,000 years ago to determine if climate has changed over...

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot lesson, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

If you have some 9-10 year olds who are ready for some 5th year math, then check out this UK math unit. There are 172 slides that cover all of the basic multiplication tables, relate those to division, fractions, sequencing, and an...

Pupils review the Cartesian plane and the process of plotting points. In groups, students create tables, identify the slope and y-intercept, and graph the equation. Afterward, pupils perform the same process, only, individually. As a...

In this graphing learning exercise, 4th graders focus on reading a given table. Students study a table and respond to 8 short answer questions.

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

Learn how to display data. Young data analysts watch a video to review how to create cumulative frequency histograms and box plots. They work on a set of questions to practice producing these data displays.  

Students explore functions, function rules, and data tables. They explore terms of linear functions. Students use computers to analyze the functions. Students write short sentences to explain data tables and simple algebraic expressions.

Students graph sea ice data and predict long term trends in the data. In this climate change lesson, students use sea ice data from the Arctic and Antarctic to construct line graphs. They use their graphs to predict the effects of global...

Students investigate graphing.  For this bar graph lesson, students view an informational website about graphing, then construct a class birthday bar graph outside with sidewalk chalk. Students choose a survey topic, then collect...
