Students access how to collect, classify and display data involving statistics. The concepts of quantitative, discrete and continuous data is covered in depth within the lesson plan. They practice with a scenario of James filled with...

Twelfth graders rewrite word problems using algebraic expressions. In this calculus instructional activity, 12th graders calculate the velocity, time and acceleration while analyzing real life scenarios. They solve problems related to...

Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Students factor polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems through factoring and distribution of the negative sign correctly.

First graders participate in games, graphing, and probability exercises to sort and graph buttons. They sort buttons with Venn diagrams and Bull's Eye graphs.

Third graders discuss how Aristotle concluded that the Earth was round. As a class, they review theories about the Earth's shape and describe how life on Earth would be different if it were flat. Individually, they make a moon book in...

High schoolers experiment and compare results of two populations. In this men and women populations lesson, students examine the difference in hand span for men and women.  High schoolers calculate a norm based on their...

Students evaluate trash. In this Science lesson, students collect and weigh trash from their classrooms. Students categorize the trash and the corresponding weights, recording the information on a data sheet.

Upper graders access the Microsoft Word program and create patterns by utilizing certain keys on the keyboard. They create picket fences, smiley faces, and hearts. It seems that this lesson has as much to do with keyboarding skills as it...

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

Students investigate qualitative and quantitative data. In this statistics lesson, students gather data on heights and weights of people and graph the distribution. Students discuss the differences between qualitative and quantitative data.

Fourth graders play a dice game as a group and record the number rolled. They report their findings and discuss terminology and ways of writing what the odds are of getting certain numbers.

Learners investigate the concept of even change by participating in a coin flip activity. They research using the Internet to investigate the chance of giving birth to a boy.

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson plan, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...

Students discuss line graphs and scatter plots and the best situations in which to use them. Using the graphs, they determine the type of correlation between variables on a scatterplot. They create a scatterplot and line graph from a...

Students practice making and interpreting pie graphs so they are better able to decide if a pie chart is the appropriate form of display. Students examine included overheads of different pie charts, and directions on how to make pie...

Students create a population pyramid based on current data for their final project country. They analyze data from comprehension trends of final project country. Students analyze populations of specific countries.

First graders practice making logical predictions from information they are given.

Students participate in a variety of activities to understand statistics. They collect and interpret data. Also students distinguish the difference between a population and a sample. They make inferences and create arguments using data.

Elementary schoolers explore the concepts associated with comparison shopping, and the concept of need versus want. They also look closely at the power of advertising and become more aware of the messages that ads present. After taking...

Learners explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Learners place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Students explore the concept of using consumer data and statistics to aid in the consumer decision making process. In this consumer data and statistics instructional activity, students research consumer data and statistics. Students...
