Young scholars study a number of food products and anticipate which are derived from Kansas crops. They make a list of words associated with the food stuffs and graph the results.

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Students select appropriate tools and technology to perform tests, collect data, and display data. They construct appropriate graphs from data and develop qualitative statements about the relationships between variables.

Here is a great lesson on constructing line graphs. Learners identify common characteristics of birds, ants common needs of all living things. They also write a story from the perspective of an ant or a bird that has lost its home and...

Explore scientific notation in this mathematics instructional activity. Young mathematicians explore multiple representations of large number in scientific notation through the use of models, visual representation and expanded form. The...

Here is a well-designed lesson on common standards of measurement for your young mathematicians. In it, learners calculate measurements in standard and non-standard units. They make predictions, record data, and construct and design...

Students explore the concept of using consumer data and statistics to aid in the consumer decision making process. In this consumer data and statistics lesson, students research consumer data and statistics. Students analyze the data...

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Students collect data, graph it, and use the data to find measures of central tendencies, and find probabilities.

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Students collect data on baseball plays. For this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions based on their observation. They calculate what the probability is that a favorable outcome would happen.

Learners explore the concept of evaporation rates in this evaporation rates lesson. They will try to identify the chemical that began a fire, perform an experiment where they use the evaporation rates to determine the unknown liquid, and...

Students identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

Students calculate probability. In this lesson on probability, students use given data to calculate to chances of a given event occurring. Many of the calculations in this lesson are applicable to daily life.

Students gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing lesson, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. students interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data from different...

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

Learners explore statistics by completing a graphing activity. In this data analysis lesson, students define a list of mathematical vocabulary terms before unpacking a box of raisins. Learners utilize the raisins to plot data on a line...

Students use satellite data to explore sea surface temperature. They explore the relationship between the rotation of the Earth, the path of ocean current and air pressure centers. After studying maps of sea surface temperature and ocean...

Students create a variety of graphs. They count, sort, and classify M&M's by color and record data on a chart. They use data from the chart to create pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs. They analyze data and determine...

Students experiment to determine if a game is fair, collect data, interpret data, display data, and state and apply the rule for probability. Students use a simple game for this experiment.

Build boxes using unit cubes to compare surface area and volume. The group performs multiple experiments to determine properties of volume, such as if it makes a difference which order the dimensions are multiplied in. Extensive...

Pupils work to find probabilities by using areas under the normal curve. Groups work to calculate z-scores and solve real-world problems using the empirical rule or tables.

Study the difference between mass and weight. Your math group will compare the weight of an item to the amount of space that it uses. They'll then use conversion factors to find the difference between kilograms and pounds. Essential...

Spin to win a toy car. A fun activity has pupils use a spinner in which three of the equal sections represent winning a toy car, and the fourth section represents no car. They record the number of wins after certain numbers of spins,...
