It is positive that how one performs on the first test relates to their performance on the second test. The three-question assessment has class members read and analyze a scatter plot of test scores. They must determine whether...

Here is a complete activity in which young biologists or ecologists test the pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and temperature of stream water. The class visits an actual stream and makes observations of the site. They use scientific...

Who wants to go fast? The answer? Your sixth-grade science superstars! The complete resource offers the ultimate, all-inclusive playbook for mastering the important concepts of speed versus time; distance versus time; and how...

So much can change in seven years. Young statisticians choose three types of businesses, such as toy stores and amusement parks, and use census data to determine how the number of those businesses in their state changed between 2010 to...

What are the consequences and costs of inflation? What is CPI, and how do we calculate it? This resource answers these questions in an organized and in-depth manner, and also includes a worksheet of follow-up questions designed for...

Young scholars identify trends and characteristics of climate zones and specific places within. Then, they graph annual climate trends (primarily Temperature and Precipitation) and create, interpret and extrapolate information based on...

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

First graders investigate picture graphs. In this graphing lesson, 1st graders create a picture graph with the x-axis being number and the y-axis being color. Students sort their gummy bears by color and use pictures of colored bears...

In this inequality and measures of central tendency instructional activity, students solve and graph linear inequalities. They organize given data to identify the mean, mode and range. Students interpret box-and-whisker plots. This...

In this interpreting line graphs worksheet, students read an explanation and observe an example of a line graph and its parts and then answer questions interpreting two line graphs. Students write eleven answers.

Young scholars study the 'Marine Protected Areas' process.  In this ocean lesson students work in groups, conduct research and present it to the class.

Students graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

Students interpret and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they investigate which solar collector, black, white, or silver, absorbs the most heat.  Students examine...

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing instructional activity, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Students read and interpret the information from a barograph from a major winter storm. This task assesses students' abilities to interpret and analyze graphs, construct data tables and graphs, generalize, infer, apply knowledge of...

Students conduct a traffic survey and interpret their data and use graphs and charts to display their results.

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Seventh graders review different types of graphs such as bar graphs, line graphs, box & whisker plots. As a class, they read a story and construct graphs to solve the data in the story. Students play "Graph Jeopardy" which requires...

In this math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems which require they interpret a stem and leaf plot. Students may view the correct answers.

Students use NASA satellite data to see cloud cover over Africa.  In this seasons lesson students access data and import it into Excel. 

Fifth graders explore how to collect data and display it on a bar and circle graph.

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...

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...
