In this measures of central tendency worksheet, students use Fruit Loops and Cheerios to gather statistical data. They find the mean, mode and median of the data. Students construct a box-and-whisker plot of the class data. This...

Students interpret data from graphs. In this range and mode lesson, students review a tally chart, pictograph and bar graph. Students use these graphs to calculate the range and mode of each set of data.

Ninth graders calculate the average speed of their balsa wood airplane. In this physics instructional activity, 9th graders build their own airplane and make necessary modifications to to make it fly straight. They interpret distance and...

Eighth graders practice making observations and collecting data after determining a baseline pulse rate then collect data on the changes in that rate with exercise. Students must organize their data and analyze their observations.

Students use five word problem solving skills to solve a variety of math word problems. They observe the teacher modelling the five steps, and in small groups complete two worksheet word problems. Students read the problem, find the...

Students use real-world data to compare the relative sizes of millions and billions, and exponential growth. They use the salaries of famous people such as, Michael Jordan and Bill Gates to understand this math concept.

For this graphing and interpretation worksheet set, students draw charts that are either blank or outlined that show information about students' favorite zoo animals. They answer questions based on the data in 15 examples.

Students receive balloons representing the "Life Cycle of the Stars." As the attached script is read, students follow the directions for the color of balloon they are given. Students chart the results for their star. They plot data from...

Second graders collect data by spinning two spinners and creating sums, organize the data, and make conclusions from the data. Each students makes a spinner. They spin and record the number of the section each time. Students work in...

Learners calculate measures of central tendency.  in this mean, median, and mode lesson, students calculate the measures of central tendency.  They organize data, examine and explain the statistics.

Students explore forensic anthropology. Given data, students determine which bones might have been the remains of which individual. They discuss how scientists work with inconclusive data.

Students use a shoe box to create a seafloor model and use cardboard for layering inside of the shoe box to simulate the ocean floor. They probe the ocean floor to simulate sonar echoes. Finally, students graph their data to get a...

For this statistics worksheet, students solve 6 data problems. They construct a histogram of given data, they create a frequency polygon, and a stem and leaf diagram. Students create a dot plot and a pie chart for given data sets. On the...

In this line graph worksheet, students analyze the data on a graph about toy-related injuries by year. Students solve 5 problems in which the change in injuries per year is calculated and recorded on a table.

Sixth graders explore weather. In this meteorology lesson, 6th graders create weather instruments and compare and contrast weather data.

Students explore the general form of the sine equation.  In this trigonometry activity, students explore the relationship between the changing parameters and the graph of the sine equation.  Students use data and a statistical...

Students collect real data through listening, counting and timing jazz pieces.They use ratios, rates, and proportions to report collected data and demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of rhythm and tempo in music.

Eighth graders examine batteries in a series circuit and the associated voltage. They determine, through inquiry and problem solving, that the total voltage of batteries in a series is the sum of the voltage of each battery. They design...

In this statistics worksheet, students examine and interpret pictographs and line graphs. Students analyze the provided data in order to create bar graphs, circle graphs, and box and whisker plots. The nine page worksheet accompanies a...

Learners solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect and plot data on a coordinate plane. They use the CBL and TI calculator to graph systems of equation.

Using plastic Easter eggs to represent parent phenotypes, genetics enthusiasts simulate the passing of alleles. They record the phenotype of each half of the egg, one representing the mother's and one representing the father's. They...

Learners complete several games and experiments, tally and graph their results. They figure the mean, median, range and/or average of their graphs to describe class results. They consider which statistic best represents the data at hand.

Pupils choose natural phenomena to research. They design and conduct experiments or simulations. Students predict, gather, and analyze data. They graph the results using a spreadsheet software.

Learners use commercial software to organize and visually display data to draw conclusions; students use graphing software to create several types of graphs illustrating the number of each color of M&M's in one bag.
