Real-life mathematics is not as simple as repeating a set of steps; pupils must mentally go through a process to come to their conclusions. Teach learners to read, analyze, and create a plan for solving a problem situation. The...

Children create crazy crayons they made to sort and construct a floor bar graph. Then, using technology resources, they make a simple bar graph to compare the top four colors produced. Students will then interpret the printed graph by...

Students estimate and record the number of raisins in a snack-size box. They also graph their results and note the differences (+ or -) from their estimate and actual number.

Students graph dissolved oxygen versus depth using data taken from NECOP Program. In this marine science lesson plan, students explain the causes of hypoxia. They recommend possible solutions to this problem.

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

Students investigate the concept of straight line motion. They determine the pattern and graph it looking for the motion maintained at a constant speed. Students also write a description of the significance of the line. The skill of...

Eighth graders measure foot length and hand span in this experiment to determine the ratio. They apply the ratio to determine Shaquille O'Neal's hand span if given his shoe size.

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate the price of tolls in different states and create a graph. They analyze their graph and draw conclusions.
