In 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...

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...

Students analyze data representing real life scenarios.In this algebra lesson plan, students collect, plot and analyze data using a graph. They use different methods to represent and present their data.

Fifth graders learn and then demonstrate their knowledge of a bar and a circle graph using the classroom data. Students are given a pack of skittles candy. Students create a bar and circle graph indicating the results of the contents of...

Groups collect data describing the number of times a bag of microwave popcorn pops at given intervals. Participants discover that the data fits a normal curve and answer questions based on the distribution of this data.

Have learners use math to prove they are sports stars! Assess a pupil's ability to create and analyze data using a variety of graphs. The class will be motivated by the association of math and basketball data.

Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

Pupils play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra lesson, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

Students explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

Become a bean counter. Pupils use a fun activity to design and execute an experiment to determine whether they can grab more beans with their dominant hand or non-dominant hand. They use the class data to create scatter plots and then...

Does writing the name of a color in a different colored ink affect one's ability to read it? Scholars design an experiment to answer this question. They collect the data, analyze the statistics, and draw a conclusion based on...

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

True or false — Double Stuf Oreos always contain twice as much cream as regular Oreos. Scholars first measure the masses of the filling in regular Oreos and Double Stuf Oreos to generate a class set of data. They use hypothesis testing...

How does radiation affect our daily lives? Answer that question and others with a lesson that discusses radiation and its use in thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves. Pupils investigate vaporization and...

Assist your class with correctly calculating the values for force, work, and power as they determine the amount various activities require. They gather data and participate in a group discussion to compare results upon conclusion of the...

Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

Learners practice an alternative form of data presentation. They practice sequencing data, identifying the stem-and-leaf, creating stem-and-leaf plots, and drawing inferences from the data by viewing the plots.

Students are introduced to the organization of data This lesson is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...

Students review the concept of median, explore how to calculate quartiles for any size data set and experience how to build a box plot.

Second graders publish a class cookbook of their own recipes. They explore the nutritional value of foods, calculate the measurements, and prepare a healthy recipe for the class.

Seventh graders are introduced to the concept of box-and-whisker plots. A step-by-step process for creating a box-and-whisker plot is provided. The goal of the instructional activity is that students study the components of a...
