Students create a tally chart. In this math and health lesson, students discuss healthy foods and create a tally chart showing the number of students who like to eat healthy foods.

Third graders practice creating bar graphs by conducting a taste test.  In this graphing lesson, 3rd graders taste several different brands of peanut butter and discuss among their classmates which tastes better.  Students...

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot it to create a linear function. They identify the domain and range of each line.

Students practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

Students identify the slope of a line and use it to solve real life problems. In this algebra lesson, students write linear equations in slope intercept form and make a correlation to its relation to the real world. They use the slope an...

Students read real world problems, determine the variables, and set up the function using algebraic statements. After entering data into the graphing calculator, they display information in the form of graphs and scatter plots. ...

Students are introduced to the concepts of probability and chance. Using data given to them, they organize and create a chart to display the information. Using this chart, they calculate the percentage of chance and probability and...

Students create a personal budget. In this financial planning lesson, students create a budget using income data and identify ways to save a portion of money for donations.

Students analyze the bell curve and make predictions. In this statistics lesson plan, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.

Third graders participate in an election project. They collect data to create a spreadsheet from which a graph is generated.

Third graders predict how many times they'll see the word "the" in a newspaper page and highlight all the "the"s they find. After reviewing definitions of range, median, mode, mean they create a Stem and Leaf Plot and a Back-to-Back Stem...

Seventh graders measure and record temperature over a given time period. They compare the recorded temperatures to the 40-year recorded normal average temperatures for the same area. Students display and interpret their findings in a graph.

Pupils examine the public's awareness of manatees by taking a survey. They display the results of the survey as a graph.

Students participate in a variety of instructional experiences about Computer Science. They define Computational Science and describe computational simulation. They also compare and contrast Computational Science and Computer Science.

Fifth graders complete a survey about their favorite season of the year. Using Excel, they create a graph using the chart wizard and copy it into Microsoft Word. They explore the relationship between the survey and the bar graph.
