Eighth graders collect and analyze data about foul shots taken at basketball games.

Students focus on reading and interpreting information from a graph.

Students work with monetary exchange rates and the metric system as they simulate working to help tourists travel through Canada to Alaska.

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

In this estimating the mile record, learners examine given data.  They use create a box-and-whisker plot to determine the upper and lower quartiles of the data.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 multi-step problems.

Fifth graders explore and examine how to make organized lists and find patterns to help them solve problems. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numerical patterns involving operations of whole...

Students will create and predict patterns formed when making paper snowflakes. Students will construct snowflakes understanding that patterns may be predicted based on observation.

Students predict how many words out of ten they accurately define. They match the definitions to the correct vocabulary words and make a bar graph showing how many definitions were matched to the correct words. The write their group...

Students discuss the properties of popcorn. They explore the connection between corn, popcorn and Thanksgiving. As a class, students sing a popcorn song and create a popcorn craft. They practice writing the word popcorn. As a...

Seventh graders are introduced to the concept of box-and-whisker plots. A step-by-step process for creating a box-and-whisker plot is provided. The goal of the lesson is that students study the components of a box-and-whisker plot and be...

Students define probability, and predict, record, and discuss outcomes from a random drawing, then identify most likely and least likely outcomes. They conduct a random drawing, record the data on a data chart, analyze the data, and...

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

Learners, after reading "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid, analyze real-world data by surveying a sample space. They predict the generalization onto a larger population utilizing calculators and computers. Students total categories,...

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

Third graders reinforce the probability of gender by uising a coin toss, as they continue to search for the answers to genetics questions by using mathematical expectations of probability.
