Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson plan, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

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...

Students create and interpret line plots, bar graphs, and circle graphs. The lesson assumes mastery of conversions from fraction to decimal to percent, construction of angles, and at least an introduction to graphs displaying data.

Pupils explore the concepts of mean, median, and mode. They develop an understanding and familiarity with these concepts. Students explore mean and median in an efficient way. Pupils explore three different measures of center.

True or false — Double Stuf Oreos always contain twice as much cream as regular Oreos. Scholars first measure the masses of the filling in regular Oreos and Double Stuf Oreos to generate a class set of data. They use hypothesis testing...

Fifth graders look at actual sunrise and sunset times for their hometown to determine a pattern in the amount of daylight. They collect their data in Excel and create a chart to help them identify the pattern, then write an explanation...

Introduce learners to set of complete instructions that describe how to build a magnetometer that works just like the ones professional photographers use to predict auroras. The diagrams are wonderfully descriptive, and the written...

Young scholars do a variety of data analyses of real-life basketball statistics from the NBA. They chart and graph rebounding, scoring, shot blocking and steals data which are gathered from the newspaper sports section.

Sixth graders make 2 different kinds of parachutes and record and graph the time for each one for the different drag forces. In this parachute lesson plan, 6th graders compare the results to the rest of the class of each parachute and...

Students 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 perform activities involving ratios, proportions and percents. Given a newspaper article, groups of students count the number of letters in a given area. They use calculators and data collected to construct a pie chart and bar...

Students work in collaborative teams with specific roles, use the Internet to research the behavior and ecology of pikas, make predictions about survival rates of pikas in different habitats and organize their data in graphs.

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Explore how the study of diseases and epidemics can be comprehended from a mathematical perspective. Investigate finite geometric series, calculating threshold values, and statistical models of the spread of disease. How many makes it an...

First graders use estimation skills and gather data and record their findings

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 demonstrate how to use frequency and scatter diagrams. In this statistics lesson, students are introduced to different techniques of representing data. Students sort and graph data on a worksheet and use a frequency diagram to...

An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

Young Einsteins experiment with the acceleration of Hot Wheels™ toy cars down inclined planes at various angles. This classic physics lab activity is thoroughly explained in both a teacher’s guide and a student lab sheet. Science...

Sixth graders create a spreadsheet on the favorite ice cream flavors of their peers. They interview their classmates, documenting their findings on a "Favorite Flavors" spreadsheet. Students graph and analyze the data.

Learners participate in a simulation of a parachute-jump competition by making paper parachutes and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the paper parachute lands compared to...

Learners discuss line graphs and scatter plots and the best situations in which to use them. Using the graphs, they determine the type of correlation between variables on a scatterplot. They create a scatterplot and line graph from a...

Young scholars 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...

Students investigate probability and the chance of an even happening. In this algebra lesson plan, students incorporate their knowledge of probability to solve problems and relate it to the real world. They learn to make decisions based...
