Eighth graders experiment to determine the number of drops of water a heads up penny hold. They create a stem and leaf graph of the class results and use the data for further experimentation on a tails up penny.

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

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 activity,...

Second graders use data analysis skills in order to plan a class party. They graph possible times for the party noting the range for times. They discuss how mathematicians find and use the range to analyze data.

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

Sixth graders develop a reasonable hypothesis for a fictional science fair investigation. 'Raquel' is going to grow radishes and test for the best way to nourish them. They create a bar graph and write conclusions.

Pupils 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.

Young scholars are given data and are to calculate averages and yearly totals of how many cars travel the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They also make a graph of the data.

Students explore and experiment with the concept do new kinds of insects appear after soil modification. They assess and review scientific methods of observation, predicting, variables, math skills, ratio, proportions, graphs and the art...

Your young geologists generate a graph given a table of values from the context of latitude and percent of the earth's surface north of that latitude. The questions in the activity then focus the learners to a deeper understanding of the...

Your young taxi drivers evaluate and articulate the reasoning behind statements in a conceptual task involving linear data. The given data table of distances traveled and the resulting fare in dollars is used by learners to explore...

Looking for an excellent lesson that incorporates math, science, and technology? Groups of three learners use a viewing tube to perform an experiment, and discover how to organize their data into an Excel spreadsheet.  This is a...

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...

Investigate the meaning of a sample proportion using this hands-on activity. Scholars collect data and realize that the larger the sample size the more closely the data resembles a normal distribution. They compare the sample proportion...

Students use the GEEBITT excel model to explore how global average temperatures are affected by changes in our atmosphere in part two of this series of seven lessons. Working in groups, they discuss, analyze graphs, and enter data to...

Scholars shake their way to understanding half-life with the help of candy. They observe and record which side candy lands on to graph the exponential decay in the fifth instructional activity of seven integrating chemistry and algebra....

Compare different random sampling types using an archaeological setting. Scholars collect data from an archaeological plot using simple random samples, stratified random samples, systematic random samples, and cluster random samples....

Young mathematicians use bags of Skittles to help them gain practice in graphing and organizing data. They work in pairs, and after they have counted and organized their Skittles, they access a computer program which allows them to print...

Now this lesson sounds fun! Learners throw a ball, film it as it soars through the air, and use a spreadsheet to collect data. A scatterplot is created to produce a quadratic regression equation, an equation in vertex form, and an...

Learning how a bank account works is a useful tool. The exercise in the resource is to deduct rent from a checking account and create an equation from a description. Participants then graph the balance of the bank account versus months...

Begin with an introduction to famous deep-sea submersibles. Learners work in groups to gather information on different vessels and then share with the class. Each group then uses water displacement to help calculate the density of...

Making connections between a function, table, graph, and context is an essential skill in mathematics. Focused on comparing linear and exponential relationships in all these aspects, this resource equips pupils to recognize and interpret...

Students graph the height of others in centimeters and inches, find the slope of line in order to calculate the conversion factor between centimeters and inches.

Students do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.
