Seventh graders explore the concept of collecting data. In this data collection lesson, 7th graders survey others about their environmental habits. Students graph their data.

In this statistics worksheet, students design a biased questionnaire. They create data displays based on given statistics. There are a total of 9 problems.

Learners complete and solve five questions/problems related to a box of Froot Loops cereal. First, they determine how many of each color of Froot Loops are in the box. Then, pupils determine which color had the greatest frequency and...

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

A six-day unit for algebra II on exponential and logarithmic functions builds upon Chapter 12 of Merrill Algebra II with Trigonometry; Applications and Connections. The text provides assistance in the depth of instruction...

Students use an on-line worksheet to experiment with patterns of tessellations in regular polygons. As students observe different shapes in the "Tessellate" Activity they complete a data table and practice making predictions for...

Students explore energy production by participating in a class discussion. In this renewable energy lesson plan, students discuss the differences between solar, coal, wind and fossil fuel energy sources and why some are better for the...

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but these sticks will make me smarter. Pupils examine arrays of sticks to determine the next array in a pattern. They use the number of sticks added to each previous array to determine a recursive...

Investigate the growth rates of alien animals. Pupils study fictional animals from another planet to determine how much they grow per year. The investigators plot the growth of their animals over a period of time and then compare...

Rays and angles and Star Wars? It sounds strange, but it's actually a fun game to help fourth graders get good at measuring and identifying angles and rays with a protractor. Each pair of children chooses which Star Wars character they'd...

Use geometric patterns to teach your class how to write functions. The assessment task has scholars consider a pattern of dots to draw the next picture of the pattern. Pupils then analyze the pattern, which helps them develop a function...

Relations, and functions, and line tests, oh my! An instructional slideshow demonstrates the definitions of a relation, a function, and the domain and range of a relation. Viewers then learn how to use mappings and vertical...

It doesn't matter whether secant lines intersect inside or outside the circle, right? Scholars extend concepts from the previous lesson to investigate angles created by secant lines that intersect at a point exterior to the circle....

Learn how to increase the probability of success. The 19th installment of a 21-part module teaches future mathematicians how to use probability to analyze decisions. They determine strategies to maximize the chances of a desired outcome.

Does temperature affect the air pressure of a football? Young mathematicians look at the readings from a pressure gauge and determine if the balls are within regulation or are under inflated.

Everyone's a winner. Scholars analyze a spinner with five unequal sections, three of which represent winning a toy car and the other two represent winning a toy truck. They conduct an experiment to estimate the number of toy cars and...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

Update the statistics in your course using older AP® questions. The 2003 AP® Statistics free-response questions cover several of the concepts in the current statistics standards for all pupils. Items contain questions about...

Second graders examine how to make and read bar graphs. In this bar graph lesson, 2nd graders compare bar graphs to pictographs by looking at hair color survey data. They practice making a bar graph and finding the range of the data.

Students describe, analyze and generalize relationships, patterns, functions using words. symbols, variables, tables and graphs.

Third graders display information in a graph, table, and chart. In this data lesson plan, 3rd graders look at graphs, tables, and charts, discuss their importance, and make their own.

Seventh graders visually represent and analyze data using a frequency table. They recognize what values in a data set are bigger by looking at a bar graph and answer questions about certain bar graphs and what they represent. Students...

Students conduct a census at school. They collect data, tally it, and create a frequency table. Students display their data in three different types of graphs. They write complete sentences describing the graph.

Students analyze graphs, charts and tables. In this data analysis lesson, students practice creating and analyzing charts, graphs and tables corresponding to sales and surveys. This lesson uses data relevant to students and includes...
