Increase your sample and increase your accuracy! Scholars complete an activity that compares sample size to variability in results. Learners realize that the greater the sample size, the smaller the range in the distribution of sample...

The Function That Shall Not Be Named? The eighth installment of a 35-part module uses a WhatPower function to introduce scholars to the concept of a logarithmic function without actually naming the function. Once pupils are...

It's opposite day! The fourth installment of a 21-part module teaches scholars about opposites of integers and of zero. Number lines and real-world situations provide an entry point to this topic.

This graphing PowerPoint demonstrates how to use graphs to gather information. The slides contain examples of graphs and display the data clearly. This presentation also gives clear directions on how to construct various graphs by using...

Students sort, classify, and graph M & M's. They create pictographs and bar graphs with the colors and numbers in each bag of M & M's. They calculate the ratio and probability based on class results.

Learners explore bar and line graphs. In this data collection, graphing, and weather lesson, students compare bar and line graphs and discuss which type of graph would be most appropriate for displaying a ten day weather forecast....

In this survey and graphing worksheet, students take a survey of 10 friends by asking them to vote for their favorite musical instrument. They fill in a tally chart, track the tally marks, and develop a bar graph with the information.

Fifth graders graph bike mileage results. In this graphing information lesson, 5th graders get into groups, and organize the information they read. Students share how they organized the information with the rest of the class. Students...

In this Olympic bar graph worksheet, students pick a sport from the 2004 Olympic games and find data from the Olympic web page. They graph the scores (times, distance, or speed) and the medals. They answer questions about the variables...

Students explore graphs.  In this graphing math lesson, students record the birthdays of each classmate on a data table.  Students cut out and add a picture of a birthday cake to a floor or wall pictograph representing the...

Students practice interpreting data. In this Holocaust lesson, students research selected Internet sources and examine charts, maps, and graphs regarding the Jewish populations in and out of Europe. Students respond to questions about...

Young scholars prepare study, and graph fingerprint patterns. They create latent fingerprints and look for common features in their prints for classification.In addition, they create a graph showing the distribution of different patterns...

Fifth graders practice interpreting line graphs of the Hudson River water levels to assess the tides and tidal cycles in the estuary. They explore how weather can affect water levels and tides and observe that high tides and low tides...

Sixth graders explore scientific observations by analyzing a group of data. In this fingerprint identification lesson, 6th graders identify the reasoning behind fingerprinting and create their own ink fingerprints. Students discuss the...

Students identify and demonstrate a positive learning attitude and use basic concepts and skills. Learners also communicate clearly in oral, artistic, written, and nonverbal form. Finally, students participate in the daily data...

Create a survey and graph! In this graphing activity, students listen to a story about pets, create a survey for family and friends about what pets they own, and use the information to create a bar and line graph.

Here are a some pre-made sets of data that kids can use to practice data analysis. There are 10 survey scenarios written out, and scholars synthesize the results of each into a bar graph. In addition to the graphing, they answer two...

Use these pre-made data sets to introduce kids to bar graphs and data analysis, and then have them take surveys on their own. There are 10 survey scenarios written out here, and scholars synthesize the results of each into a bar graph....

For this double bar graph worksheet, learners make a double bar graph from given information, then solve related problems in addition to 2 test prep problems. Houghton Mifflin text referenced.

Is it possible to solve quadratic equations by factoring? It is, and your class will graph quadratic equation and functions too. They perform transformation on their graphs showing increasing and decreasing intervals, domain, and range....

As your scholars begin to learn how to read graphs, help them pay attention to detail with this matching activity. They read four short data descriptions and match them to one of the four bar graphs pictured. Each graph is labeled along...

Your learners have seen basic bar graphs, but do they have experience reading double bar graphs? This learning exercise details how to draw a double bar graph and provides an example with six accompanying questions. The final question...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson plan.

In this graphs worksheet, students analyze a bar graph that shows retail prescription drug sales in the U.S. Students complete five problem solving questions about the data on the graph.
