Fifth graders organize and display information in bar graph form using appropriate labels. Each student receives a box of Valentine heart candies, a worksheet of the tally chart and a worksheet of the bar graph.

Second graders make daily weather observations, record them with appropriate stickers on a chart, and then summarize them at the end of the week in the form of a bar graph.

Pupils investigate the parameters involved with launching a basketball at an angle.  In this motion lesson students predict and sketch graphs that show the motion of a ball toss. 

Students examine kinds of data used to report statistics, and create their own statistical report based on any of the four sources of media information (Internet, newspaper, TV, magazine).

Students collect data and plot it using a histogram. In this statistics lesson plan, students interpret histograms. They find the frequency, percents and density.

Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

Check out the handout from a presentation that contains a collection of high school algebra projects connecting a variety of mathematics to the real world. Activities range from simple probabilities to calculus. The activities...

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Students practice analyzing images, maps and graphs from Internet-based educational resources. They explore the correlation between sea surface temperature and coral bleaching. Students comprehend that coral reefs are collections of tiny...

A greenhouse provides additional warmth and protection to the plants inside, but what if the greenhouse gets too hot? Pupils discuss and experiment with the difference between natural and anthropogenic greenhouse effect. They measure the...

Floating fragments of elodea can grow even without roots. Young scientists use eldoea plants to observe the oxygen production from photosynthesis. They study the difference between having access to high amounts of light and low amounts...

Collect a variety of bivariate data. Groups determine sets of data that would provide a positive, negative, and no correlation. Team members gather their data through out the week. Scholars plot the data and determine the relationship...

Learners create charts and graphs using a spreadsheet. They chart the number of each gift given day by day from the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas." They create a bar graph and a circle graph from their data on the spreadsheet.

Fourth graders observe air pollution that is visible and invisible with experimentation. During the experiment the students collect data that needs analysis. The observations are recorded in the lab journal. The data also is represented...

Young scholars take a field trip to a local Texas beach. Using the trash and debris they find, they classify them based on specific criteria. In groups, they calculate the total for each category and determine the percentage of each...

Eighth graders produce and examine two sets of data and create what they believe to be the most appropriate graphs to represent these sets of data. After completing the pre-assessment, they discuss reasons for using each type of graph...
