It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...

The teacher demonstrates how to use a graphing calculator to create box-and-whisker plots and identify critical points. Small groups then create their own plots and analyze them and finish by comparing different sets of data using box...

Do I stand or do I sit? The class plays a dice game where they must decide to either continue to stand and play or sit down and keep their points. After the game, groups discuss individuals' strategies and see connections to the...

Learners interpret statistics.  In this data lesson, students examine and organize given data.  They present the data in a grid format.  Using the census data, learners determine the best location for a local business.

Students explore different ways to display data. In this statistics lesson plan, students create pie charts, bar graphs and line graphs to show data. Students then write a paragraph discussing which types of graphs are helpful for...

Eleventh graders research quality of life indicators for a list of countries looking at such things as infant mortality rate, and gross domestic product. They rank the countries from best to worst regarding quality of life issues.

In this probability activity, students calculate how many chops it would take to kill a dragon. They are given rules on what will and what will not kill the dragon and asked to collect their data showing which method they used to kill...

Young scholars define population and carrying. In this algebra lesson, students explore exponential growth and decay based on animals and things that grow or decrease exponentially. They graph their findings and discuss their results as...

Learners compute the standard deviation for a given set of data. In this measuring dispersion lesson plan, students compute the mean, and then the distance from the mean for each data point. They find the standard deviation of the data.

Is baseball really the road to riches? Here, statisticians look at salary data from baseball players and use variance to measure the spread of the data to more accurately answer that question. Note: The salary data provided is from 1994,...

Students create charts and graphs, using a spreadsheet program, of their results from their accelerated math lessons. Students discover how graphs can be used to interpret data in our everyday lives as well as how several different...

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.

Students open a blank spreadsheet and format it for a class survey about the number of shoes owned by the men and women in the class. They enter the data before finding the mean, median, mode, quartiles, variance, and the standard...

Young scholars work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

Young scholars collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students use circle, pie, bar and lines to represent data. They analyze the data and make predictions bases on the scatter plots created.

Students collect data and analyze the data using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use combinations and theoretical and experimental probability to analyze their data. They observe a remote controlled robot as they collect data.

Students explore probability by participating in an experimental activity. In this number statistics lesson, students collaborate in groups in which they move a game piece around a board. Students calculate their probability of landing...

Students interpret raw data about population statistics. For this raw data lesson plan, students plug the data into graphic organizers and draw conclusions based on their findings.
