Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Middle schoolers are introduce to the notion of stem-and-leaf plots. They use stem-and-leaf plots to calculate the mean, median, and mode of a set of data. Students use computers to learn about stem-and-leaf plots.

Students are introduced to histograms, bar graphs, and the concept of class interval. They use an activity and three discussions with supplemental exercises to help students explore how data can be graphically represented (and...

Pupils identify the line of best fit. For this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They calculate the regression equations and identify the different types of correlation.

Learners explore the characteristics of sets and Venn Diagrams. Given data, students practice determining the placement of elements in a Venn Diagram. Learners discuss the correspondence between data sets and their graphical...

Students calculate the costs for lodging and meals for a virtual field trip. They calculate the number of nights lodging needed for road and city travel and the number of meals needed, the costs for each, and input the data using...

Young scholars solve word problems using mathematical symbols. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data and analyze it. They analyze the data using a table or graph after plotting the data.

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x...

Students examine the importance of the census and census data collection methods. They gather statistical data, create graphs comparing state and national populations, and compose written reflections on why the census is necessary.

Students employ statistics to solve real-world problems. They collect, organize and describe data. They make inferences based on data analysis. They construct, read, and interpret tables, charts and graphs.

Learners investigate how weather affects how plants grow. They collect data on weather and plant growth for a week and display the data on a graph. For a culminating experience they design a movie using software that shows plant growth...

Students investigate the impact of human activity on the environment.  In this secondary math/science lesson, students analyze and interpret information from data and graphs as they investigate trends in climate change and the...

Pupils engage in the practice of creating a scatter plot with the data obtained from measuring different resting heart rates. The data is used to create the table that is translated into a graph. The lesson gives instructions for the use...

Students collect data on causes of Acid Rain. In this science lesson, students simulate the effects that produce acid rain, collect and analyze data from their samples. They relate science and statistics in this lesson.  

Fourth graders build a balloon hovercraft, take direct measurements, answer critical questions, and make calculations using the data gathered in order to see the concept of acceleration as a change in velocity. They use a worksheet...

In this math tables worksheet, students read the math word problem and use the information from the math table with the votes for the club trip. Students then complete the problem solving method for the table for understand, plan, solve,...

Eleventh graders identify, create and solve word problems involving inverse variation. In this algebra instructional activity, 11th graders solve problems using direct, inverse and joint variation. They identify problems using these...

Introduce young learners to the important life skill of responsibly managing money and recording how much they spend and save. 

Seventh graders discuss water issues and its affect on salmon population. They recreate a sampling river with fish (cheddar) and scoop them to tag them (which means they exchange them for pretzel fish.) They complete a spreadsheet to...

Young scholars explore various tree species. In this tree species instructional activity, students collect leaves on nature walks and use Internet sources to identify the trees that the leaves belong to. Young scholars graph their data...

Learners create different methods to analyze their data. In this algebra instructional activity, students differentiate between proportion and non-proportional graph. They use the TI-Navigator to create the graphs and move them around to...

Students calculate the maximum and minimum of each function. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data to analyze it. They differentiate between the absolute max and min and the maxima and minima of each function.

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...

Students explore the use of variables in the scientific method. They identify the dependent and independent variables through pH testing. Students construct graphs of their data and analyze their findings.
