Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...

What does viscosity have to do with splatter? An activity shows that the viscosity of a substance is inversely proportional to the distance of its splatter. Learners conduct the experiment by collecting data, graphing, and analyzing...

Seeing is believing. Given several bivariate data sets, learners make scatter plots using the online SeeIt program to visualize the correlation. To get a more complete picture of the topic, they research their own data set and perform an...

Students explore the concept of mathematical models. For this mathematical model lesson, students create a mathematical model from data from 4 cities over 15 months. Students are told they are working for a weather station. Students...

Learners create table to display GED Testing data located in paragraph provided by teacher, use information in table to create appropriate graph, and determine percentage difference between passing scores and failing scores.

Learners complete three parts of an "Organizning and Reading Data" worksheet. First, they go over the rubric to determine the work will be scored. They organize data by taking tallies, make a pictograph and a bar graph using the data....

Students differentiate between bar graphs, line graphs, pictographs and bar graphs. After participating in a hands-on cookie activity, students label and draw their own graphs.

Students draw line graphs. In this math lesson plan, students interpret minimum wage data and graph the data in a line graph. Students predict the next minimum wage and figure the earnings for a 40 hour work week for someone earning the...

Middle schoolers create and conduct a survey about favorite foods, gather and represent the data, interpret data and make predictions to present to the class. They create and use interview questions to gather data. Pupils are...

Students relate data to coordinate graphs and plot points on this graph. They use minimum wage data to construct the graph. Students decide appropriate time intervals for the graphs. They share graphs with their classmates.

Students use commercial software to organize and visually display data to draw conclusions; students use graphing software to create several types of graphs illustrating the number of each color of M&M's in one bag.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of graphing and comparing different types of data using pictographs, line graphs, scatter plots, etc... They gather data and make interpretations while examining the medium of how it is displayed.

In this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders use a line graph to illustrate how a measure of data changes and explain their reasoning. Then they use a bar graph to compare pieces of data and a pictograph to compare data.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts of probability while performing data analysis. They apply statistical methods in order to measure or predict some possible outcomes. The information is collected and graphed, 8th graders analyze...

Students make a bar graph. In this graphing lesson, students discuss why bar graphs are used and are shown bar graph examples. Students create their own bar graph to compare the heights of different things around the world. Students...

Students investigate line graphs.   In this middle school mathematics lesson, students compare and contrast different types of graphs and create line graphs based on the data provided.

Students investigate data and recyclable materials. In this math lesson, students save recyclable materials and create a graph of the materials. Students discuss how they could help the environment by recycling.

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...

Pupils 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 inquire about animals using SIRS Discoverer or eLibrary Elementary.  In this organizing data activity, students sort pictures of animals in various ways and develop graphs. Students locate a mammal, reptile, fish, insect or...

Students examine the diet of panthers. In this interpreting data lesson, students collect data on the panther's diet and chart the data in bar and pie graphs.

Pupils collect and Analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students identify the line of best fit of the graph. They classify lines as having positive, negative and no correlation.

Students create a survey online. In this math instructional activity, students graph survey data using flisti.com. They share and analyze their classmates' histogram.

Students research the Internet or create surveys to find graphable data. They collect, organize, analyze and interpret the data. Finally, they choose the appropriate type of graph to display the data and find the measures of central...
