Learners examine the diet of panthers. In this interpreting data lesson, students collect data on the panther's diet and chart the data in bar and pie graphs.

Students explore measurements and geometric formulas. In this geometry lesson, students investigate pi as it relates to geometry. They collect data and use a chart to organize the data.

Young scholars explain necessity in using accurate instruments when measuring, and how measurements can be checked for accuracy. They make a six-inch ruler, design, test, and evaluate a system to measure work, and produce a table and...

In this math learning exercise, students work at home with a family member on a graphing activity. Students count the number of cans, glass jars, boxes and bags in the pantry. Students make a bar and a line graph to represent the data.

In this graph worksheet, learners study a bar graph that shows the number of college students taking at least one online course. Learners answer 4 problem solving questions about the data on the graph.
