Eighth graders are asked what is the process of transitioning and why is it important? They listen as the counselor reviews the information from the pervious lesson. Students review peer sharing about what they have been taught and what...

Learners explore counting, sorting, and graphing skills. In this data analysis lesson, students sort jelly beans by color, count the jelly beans, and create a bar graph of the jelly beans according to color.

Students identify the slope of linear functions. In this slope lesson, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.

Seventh graders simulate probability experiments. Using a graphing calculator, 7th graders design, conduct, and draw conclusions from simulations or probability experiments. Students construct frequency tables and compare the...

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

Sixth graders set up a pendulum experiment deciding which variable to manipulate (length of string or weight on the string). They create a hypothesis, collect necessary equipment, and write out each step of their experiment. They then...

Geology beginners examine three different rock samples and determine their origin by their characteristics. By making and recording observations, they become familiar with features of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock types....

“What is the role or function of controversial art? And, should children, our children, be required—forced—to study certain works they may find painful or humiliating or offensive?” Robert Zalisk’s question, found in his article, “Uproar...

Second graders observe a demonstration of the creation of a bar graph and a pie graph of their favorite colors. They gather information about various topics from their classmates, then organize the information, creating a bar and a pie...

Third graders tally, sort, and organize pizza orders from monthly school sales. They create an advertising campaign to promote the School Pizza Sale, record the data in graph form, compare and contrast the tallies throughout the year,...

Young mathematicians use bags of Skittles to help them gain practice in graphing and organizing data. They work in pairs, and after they have counted and organized their Skittles, they access a computer program which allows them to print...

There's a function for that! Scholars examine real-world situations to determine which type of function would best model the data in the 23rd installment of a 35-part module. It involves considering the nature of the data in addition to...

Students map and describe small area of the schoolyard and discuss habitats.

Students develop strategies to organize data while following teacher demonstration. They calculate the mean, median and mode of a data set while determining the relationships between the numbers. They analyze data from tables and double...

Students identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson plan, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students measure the heart beat of a person as they listen to music. They use the CBL and TI to create a graph, analyzing the outcome.

Students use the tools of data analysis for managing information. They solve problems by generating, collecting, organizing, displaying histograms on bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, pictographs and charts. Students determine...

Second graders explore organizing data to make it useful for interpreting picture graphs and bar graphs. They use Graphers software to create a pictograph and a bar graph.

Fourth graders evaluate various graphs for the best way to reflect statistical data. They use a spreadsheet to organize data and generate varied graphic representations. They select the graph they feel best shows their results.

Second graders conduct survey and sort data according to categories, construct bar graph with intervals of 1, and write a few sentences about their graphs.

Students identify, interpret and demonstrate a positive learning attitude. They identify, comprehend and use basic concepts and skills and then, communicate clearly in oral, artistic, written, and nonverbal form. Students also identify...
