Representing data is as easy as pie. Class members construct pie charts given a frequency table. Individuals then determine the size of the angles needed for each sector and interpret the size of sectors within the context of frequency....

Will it sink or will it float? Learners predict the outcome as they drop random objects into a container of water. Then, they keep track of the results and record the data in a t-chart to draw a final conclusion.

There is power in spreadsheet formulas and learners use this power to model quadratic data. Given a scatterplot of a parabola, pupils create formulas in a spreadsheet to populate the data. The formulas they use lead to an understanding...

Students calculate the rate of speed of various moving objects within the classroom setting, or outside under a controlled environment.

When complicated algebraic expressions are involved, it is sometimes easier to use a table or graph to model a context. The exercises in this lesson are designed for business applications and require complex algebraic...

Investigate the growth rates of alien animals. Pupils study fictional animals from another planet to determine how much they grow per year. The investigators plot the growth of their animals over a period of time and then compare...

Make the most of your prom—with math! Pupils write and use a quadratic model to determine the optimal price of prom tickets. After determining the costs associated with the event, learners use a graph to analyze the break even point(s).

Frequency polygons are a different way to represent frequencies over intervals. Pupils take frequencies for intervals of data from a frequency table and plot them as a frequency polygon. Budding mathematicians find information about the...

You'll never have to search for another worksheet again after downloading this extensive collection of Saxon math materials. With over 600 pages of example problems and skills practice exercises, this is a must-have resource...

Learn to analyze vector addition on graph paper through multiple levels of practice problems. Pupils begin with two component addition and move through three and four components to prove mastery as one part of a series on vectors and...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

Learners discover how to use the knowledge of unit rates to understand equivalent ratios and solve real-world problems. They are given word problems to solve using equivalent ratios. Tables are also covered in this resource.

Learners complete and solve five questions/problems related to a box of Froot Loops cereal. First, they determine how many of each color of Froot Loops are in the box. Then, pupils determine which color had the greatest frequency and...

In this collecting data worksheet, 4th graders view a table on ice skaters at a public rink in order to answer 2 multiple choice questions, 1 short answer question and make a graph showing one piece of the data.

Students identify the structure and key parts of tables and charts. They determine which data is meanjngful and make comparisons with the data. They describe the scope of the AIDS plague throughout the world.

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

For 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...

Fifth graders examine line, bar and circle graphs in the newspaper and on the Internet. They complete sketches of graphs with an emphasis on selecting the best model to depict the data collected.

In this data worksheet, students learn how to organize the data collected during an experiment and practice finding patterns. Students graph a table of experimental data and complete 1 short answer question.

Learners 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...

In this graphing worksheet, learners read about line, bar, and pie graphs and then determine which graph is the best way to express data results. This worksheet has 3 short answer questions.

Students concentrate on discrete quantiative data. They are shown that the vertical line diagram as a more appropriate way to present discrete quantiative data then bar charts. Students work as a group to help with the interpretation...

In this data collection worksheet, learners read about how data is collected and organized. They also learn about a hypothesis. Students read through examples of different charts and then answer 23 questions pertaining to data...

In this graphing worksheet, students review the five steps for making a double line graph to display data. Students then use the graph they made following the shapes to answer the three questions.
