Are we there yet?  Young trip planners learn about their state and plan a trip. They will select sites to see in three cities in their state, and record associated costs in a spreadsheet. While this was originally designed as a...

Upper grade and middle schoolers discuss their favorite TV programs, music, books, etc. Following a lesson on measures of central tendency, learners discuss random sampling. They conduct a survey and use charts and frequency tables to...

Students graph data they collected and analyze it using a bar graph. In this algebra lesson, students analyze their data using pie charts and bar graphs while explaining the meaning to each other. They compare and contrast bar...

Students determine how interests is calculated and a how it accrues. They examine charts and graphs that show the intricacies of interest. They determine how to increase their own saving by using interest while working with a partner to...

Students work in groups to present a segment of a timeline of events and discoveries in astronomy. In this astronomy lesson plan, students teach their classmates about their section of the timeline.

In this pie graphs worksheet, students solve 10 different problems that include reading a pie graph. First, they use the pie graph to respond to 5 questions that follow. Students determine the year that had the smallest and largest...

For this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems that require them to read and interpret graphs. Students may view the correct answers.

Students create a graph charting their favorite season. They discuss the difference in the four seasons and activities they participate in, in each of the seasons. They can also take a survey of their family members and add them to the...

Fifth graders practice using math graphs. In this graphing lesson, 5th graders work in groups to develop a topic of their own to represent as a graph. Students collect data and construct a graph for the lesson.

In this circle graphs worksheet, students solve 10 different problems that include reading various circle graphs. First, they use graph 1 to determine how many students preferred which sport. Then, students use graph 2 to determine the...

Second graders use latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint an exact location on the map. In this geography lesson, 2nd graders utilize handouts from the Maritime Museum in order to gain practice in finding locations throughout the...

Third graders research their genealogy. In this math lesson, 3rd graders collect data and create graphs and charts. A presentation of their findings is given.

By studying the assumed extinction, and subsequent rediscovery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, learners use maps and come up with a scenario for the rediscovery of the bird. This incredibly thorough lesson plan is chock-full of...

Fifth graders estimate the prices of items to be bought for back to school. They use catalogs and/or advertisements to research the cost of each of the items. They use problem solving strategies and a spreadsheet template to determine...

Students collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

Students construct a bar graph with a given set of data. They calculate the ratio and percent of the data. Students discuss alternate ways of graphing the data as well as multiple strategies to approach the task.

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...
