Find a statistical reason for a fresh start. Using a hypothetical scenario, individuals research statistical data of three different cities. Their goal? Find the best statistical reason for a business to move to a new location. Their...

Young scholars create a survey for their classmates to collect data on their favorite foods, eye color, pets or other categorical data. They compile the data from the survey in a table and then make a bar graph of each category using a...

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a coordinate plane.

Students investigate rational numbers through data analysis and statistics. In this algebra lesson, students represent, rename, compare and order rational numbers. They collect and represent data correctly on a graph.

Students practice addition facts, record data, and construct a bar graph. In this probability instructional activity, students participate in a board game in which bicycles move towards a finish line based on players completing addition...

Young scholars graph and analyze data using a spreadsheet.

Students investigate and study logarithmic equations. In this precalculus lesson, students analyze the data behind the function. They define each graph as positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Learners calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Eighth graders practice constructing bar, circle, and box-and-whisker graphs. They practice reading and interpreting data displays and explore how different displays of data can lead to different interpretations.

Students explore the concept graphing data. For this graphing data lesson, students use weather data from their local weather and some other city and graph them. Students plot the local weather vs. another city. Students record...

Eighth graders investigate Newton's Law of Inertia in order to create a context for the review of the use of different types of graphs. They practice gathering the data from an experiment and put it into the correct corresponding graph.

First graders analyze objects and make a graphing picture to analyze the data. In this graphing lesson, 1st graders complete an object graph assessment, a picture graph assessment, and a bar graph assessment to analyze their given objects.

Students create graphs to illustrate the bald eagle population. They identify the population of bald eagles in Minnesota and the United States. They create three graphs to represent the population data including a line, bar, and...

Ninth graders graph data in order to compare the number of extinct species and a rise in human population. They analyze the data collected. Students are encouraged to infer the relationship.

Sixth graders practice collecting, organizing and displaying data. They create circle, bar, line and picto graphs. They analyze data in small and large sample groups.

Students graph an equation and analyze the data. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph scatter plots and identify the line of best fit using positive correlation, negative correlation an d no correlation. They apply their data...

Students graph sea ice data and predict long term trends in the data. For this climate change lesson, students use sea ice data from the Arctic and Antarctic to construct line graphs. They use their graphs to predict the effects of...

Learners graph an equation and analyze the data. For this algebra lesson, students graph scatter plots and identify the line of best fit using positive correlation, negative correlation an d no correlation. They apply their data analysis...

Learners create constant speed versus motion graphs. They will perform linear regressions on their data to describe the graphs mathematically.

Students solve equations dealing with best fit lines. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems by analyzing data from a scatterplot, and define it as positive, negative or no correlation. They classify slopes the same way as...

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 use data to determine if the climate in Portland has changed over the years.  In this weather lesson students complete line graphs and study long wave radiation. 

Students compare current weather data to historic data to see if there is a temperature change.  In this weather lesson students complete a lab activity and determine average changes in temperature, precipitation and cloud cover.

Using the scientific method, and bubble gum, learners conduct a motivating experiment. After conducting a series of tests involving bubble gum, they graph and analyze their results. This is the type of activity everyone loves.
