Eighth graders, using a range of data, produce three bar graphs for various scales along the y-axis.

Fourth graders watch a video about constructing bar graphs. They create their own graph and interpret it.

Students use the internet to gather a minimum of thirty pieces of data. Students create box and whisker graphs, and stem and leaf plots from the information. They calculate mean, median, mode, and range. Students write a summary and...

Pupils explore the relationship between two variables. Students measure their arm span and height. They gather this class data to design a scatter plot. Pupils interpret the meaning of individual coordinates and the overall graph. ...

Sixth graders discuss how the scale and type of graph can change how the data appears. With a partner, they identify all the information about the graph in a specific amount of time and record them in a journal. To end the lesson, they...

Second graders sort M & M's and then enter the data into a spreadsheet in order to create a simple graph. After printing the spreadsheet generated graph, have students compare the printed graph with their paper graph.

Students use a spreadsheet program to graph and compare milage, gasoline costs and travel time for two travel routes in their virtual field trip in Michigan. They determine the most economical route based on the graphs and calculations.

Pupils use the lab apparatus to calculate the average velocity and average acceleration at several points and record the data. They use the spreadsheets to plot distance vs. time, velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs.

Students are introduced to the given problem and describe in their own words the situation represented in a bar chart and tally chart. They then use a bar chart and tally chart to make sensible predictions.

First graders collect classroom data (such as mode of transportation used to get to school) and prepare a pictograph to interpret the information.

First graders analyze nursery rhymes and gather data about word frequency. In this frequency lesson, 1st graders create graphs and tables. Students interpret the data.
