Analyze data using technology. Middle schoolers design data investigations, describe data, and draw their own conclusions. Then they select the best type of graph, graph and interpret the data, and look for patterns in trends. They also use a graphing calculator to investigate and to communicate their results. Designed for use with Texas Instruments calculators, the resource can adapt to low-tech classrooms as well.
