High schoolers read and interpret graphs. In this population lesson plan, students explore population and population density as they read several data graphs and respond to questions.

In this graph learning exercise, students interpret given line graphs. They determine the range, and identify the range in a set of data. This one-page learning exercise contains approximately 14 problems.

In this box and whisker plot worksheet, learners solve 5 short answer problems. Students use box and whisker plots to describe data and determine what percentile a piece of data belongs.

In these graphing worksheets, students ask their classmates which animal they would like to be. Students then tally their numbers and graph the data.

Examine statistical data that shows an overlap in responses. The data tallies over 100% and learners interpret this data characteristic. They then create a graph to represent the data.

Do you like apples? Create a taste test for your first and second grade learners. Cut red, green, and yellow apples, and have learners select their favorite. After tasting all of the apples, they collect data and graph the results with...

Students research data and develop statistical methods such as mean and median price and make convincing arguments as powerful ways for decision making.

Students examine graphs to find the most appropriate for various kinds of data.  In this graphing lesson, student create bar, line and circle graphs.  Students create graphs electronically and manually interpreting the data.

Students explore statistics by completing a graphing activity. In this data analysis lesson, students define a list of mathematical vocabulary terms before unpacking a box of raisins. Students utilize the raisins to plot data on a line...

Students study data on the nutritional value of Burger King meals in order to discover its nutritional value and also to compare the meals, using mathematical computation, to the recommended daily diet. In this data handling lesson...

Students collect survey data on the prevalence of asthma in a community. They summarize and display the survey data in ways that show meaning.

Put the better archer in a box. The performance task has pupils compare the performance of two archers using box-and-whisker plots. The resource includes sample responses that are useful in comparing individuals' work to others.

Young scholars examine how to locate and access data sets.  In this climate change lesson students import data into Excel and graph it.   

Candy is always an effective motivator! A fun math activity uses M&M's and Skittles to explore two-way frequency tables and conditional probability. The candy can serve a dual purpose as manipulatives and experimental data.

Learners review terminology: pulse, heart rate, target heart rate zone. They work in three groups, and assigned to one of three activity stations. At 5-minute intervals, 4th graders check their pulse and record it on their group...

Determining relationships is all part of algebra and functions. Your mathematicians will decide the type of relationship between airports and population and translate what the slope and y-intercept represent. The problem is multiple...

Learners won't have to squirm when asked the facts after completing an intriguing lab investigation! Hook young scholars on science by challenging them to verify Hooke's Law using a gummy worm. Measuring the length of the worm as they...

Water, water, everywhere? Each pupil first uses an Internet program to select 50 random points on Earth to determine the proportion of its surface covered with water. The class then combines data to determine a more accurate estimate.

Students graph linear http://www.lesson planplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving lesson plan, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon,...

A cross-curricular resource that takes the electoral votes and allows your learners to organize and analyze the data. Young voters can determine which states are more influential and interpret the dotplot provided for more data....

Linear, quadratic, and now cubic functions can model real-life patterns. High schoolers create cubic regression equations to model different scenarios. They then use the regression equations to make predictions.

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

Young scholars manipulate and interpret data. They are given a dataset from a described experiment and interpret the data. A "How to Sheet for graphing" is included in lesson plan.

First graders, after having "Are You My Mother?" by P.D. Eastman read to them, participate in group discussions or independentally work to analyze a spreadsheet to identify essential elements in the story and graph their data. In...
