The teacher conducts a survey of each student's favorite color. The teacher then creates a pie chart identifying the information gathered. The students display mastery by creating their own pie chart displaying the same information.

Students examine their own lives and how well they manage their time outside of school. In this this time management lesson, students discover the amount of time they spend on other activities, and create a pie chart with that...

Students graph data they collected and analyze it using a bar graph. In this algebra activity, students analyze their data using pie charts and bar graphs while explaining the meaning to each other. They compare and contrast bar...

Second graders study graphing using pictographs and bar graphs. They graph pie charts, line graphs, and also change the graph scale up to 1000. They use the pictograph on the left to create the same graph on the right using a bar graph.

Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...

Fifth graders examine fractional parts of pie graphs. Given a bag of M&Ms, 5th graders interpret the data. They use a paper plate and colors to create a graph of the types of M&Ms represented.

Students create their own pie chart about their total health, being comprised of physical, social, and mental health. They label each section physical, social, and mental, and label each section with the percentage they are trying to...

Math scholars investigate the cost of living in Hong Kong compared to Chicago but must first convert the different types of currency. They then choose a type of graph to compare different spending categories and finish the activity by...

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze data from four different activities. The activities include information about classmates, tallying colors of cars in a parking lot, stem and leaf plots, and making a histogram from...

Students input data about the colors of their serving of M&M candies onto a spreadsheet. They create charts and graphs based on this information.
