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

Students investigate scores as they relate to race. For this algebra lesson, students analyze standardized scores and how race can affect these scores. They plot their findings on a graph and draw conclusions.

Students read special purpose map, use place value to hundred thousands, and write numbers to hundred thousands.

Students collect and organize data from classmates, display data on simple chart, and plan class birthday party.

Students analyze a graph from the New York City Administration for Children's Services that shows a significant increase in New York City adoptions after ACS was founded. They determine whether the graph supports ACS' claims and whether...

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students simulate a controlled forest burn using an applet. Students vary the probability of trees burning and predict what will happen.

Students investigate the St. Lawrence River Valley, ice Storm of 1998.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students interpret ice storm data from tables and maps.  Students write about their own experiences of the ice...

In this unit, 3rd graders investigate one variable to see if they can make a paper plane fly farther. They use scatter plots to establish a possible relationship between variables then use what they have found to make a paper plane to...

Eighth graders create a website using FrontPage. They use inserted forms to collect survey information and use Microsoft Excel and MS Word to create a presentation of the survey and the results.

Students use information about the Union and Confederate troops to create a bar graph.  In this graphing lesson, students graph troop information on a bar graph, color coding the information.  Students then find the differences...

Students explore the New Hampshire primaries and the polling process by analyzing polling information, examining the effects of polls, and creating graphs that represent polling data.

Sixth graders create and edit spreadsheet documents using all data types, formulas and functions, and chart information. They collect and organize data that be portrayed in a graph that they create using EXCEL.

Students find city temperatures and analyze their means to find the standard deviation. They calculate the standard deviation of monthly temperature means.

Learners practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

Students explore the mathematical concepts used to compare different types of vehicles. They create a print advertisement in which they persuade an audience to purchase a specific vehicle.

Students analyze age-group population data and make inferences on the impact of the aging population in Canada. They, in groups, focus on health care, social programs and labor issues.

Students 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.

Middle schoolers investigate water usage, water available, and water demand historically in the local area. They use projections of water usage, availability and demand up to the year 2050. Students use graphs to relate as well as...

Students explore and examine the increases and/or decreases for water user groups: irrigation, municipal, manufacturing, steam electric power generation cooling, livestock, and mining. They utilize percentage changes during their...

Fifth graders measure their body height and the height they can jump. They use these measurements in forms of ratios, fractions and decimals to describe their Springy Legs Factors (SLF). Students compare their SLFs to other people's...

Young scholars practice an alternative form of data presentation. They practice sequencing data, identifying the stem-and-leaf, creating stem-and-leaf plots, and drawing inferences from the data by viewing the plots.

Students are introduced to the organization of data This lesson is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...
