Data Analysis, Probability, and Discrete Mathematics

An inventive lesson shows learners how to collect, organize, and present mathematical data. They access websites which lead them through a variety of ways to engage in data collection. They get to design and create graphs, and present...

Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

Being able to collect, analyze, and display data is a skill that begins in mathematics and extends to a variety of other subjects. Data and probability is first defined by three big questions and a wonderful set of examples that can be...

Graphing data promotes accuracy and visual comprehension of predictable patterns. On two straightforward worksheets, learners graph data and practice reading the information in x- and y-axis format. They plot the growth of a pinto bean...

There are eight decimals numbers in this data set. Find the mean. So add all the terms together and then divide that total number by the number of terms in the data set. That's how you find the mean or average of a data set.

In this math/nutrition lesson, the nutritional value of 3 snack foods is recorded on a data chart and represented on a bar graph. Students analyze and compare information, construct data charts and related bar graphs, and draw...

Demonstrate several ways to represent data with your class. They will use surveys to gather data and display the data using tally charts and graphs. Then answer questions according to the data.

Elementary schoolers find out which month has the most class birthdays (mode) and which birthday represents the middle point of all the birthdays (median). They gather and organize data to find one number that fairly represents the whole...

Average, mean, average, mean. They are the same thing. So just use the formula for finding the average of a set of numbers to get the mean. Add up the value of the terms and then divide by the number of terms in the data set. There's the...

Students input data about the colors of their serving of M&M candies onto a spreadsheet. They create charts and graphs based on this information.
