Students sort teddy bears according to types and then graph the results. They each bring a bear to class and then discuss their similarities and differences. Once the bears have been sorted into groups according to size and color,...

Young statisticians collect, organize, and present data to illustrate responses to a survey question. They write and conduct the survey. They finish by presenting the results in the form of a graph.

Collect and graph data using Microsoft Excel with your math class. They will make predictions about the number of each colored candy in a bag of M&M's, then sort, classify, count, and record the actual data before using Excel to...

Help learners determine the rate of change for the temperature of sand. They will collect data on the temperature of wet and dry sand over time with a heat lamp overhead. Then make a scatter plot of the data and find a linear model to...

"Show your work!" It's the math teacher's mantra. Support your class with meeting this reasonable requirement with this set of recording paper templates.

A graph not only tells us who won the bike race, but also what happened during the race. Use this resource to help learners understand graphs. The commentary suggests waiting until the end of the year to introduce this topic, but why...

Young mathematicians are presented three possible graphs to represent the number of students who have a given number of pockets in their clothes. They must choose the most appropriate graph and write out short explanations regarding...

Young scholars identify the use and structure of three different types of graphs by graphing the data from three short activities. They take a survey on their favorite cereals for a bar graph, separate colors of M&M's for a pie graph...

Is it possible to solve quadratic equations by factoring? It is, and your class will graph quadratic equation and functions too. They perform transformation on their graphs showing increasing and decreasing intervals, domain, and range....

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Even high schoolers enjoy making ice cream. This laboratory exercise has them record the temperature changes throughout the process of liquid becoming solid, graph the results, and...

Students investigate graphs and analyze the data displayed in the graph. They read a graph reflecting the birthday data for the students to read and analyze. Students use the graph to determine the number of birthday cards they need to...

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

In this interpreting a line graph learning exercise, students read a graph and answer a question. Students are taken through the problem solving process by being asked to understand, plan, solve and look back at the end of the learning...

Students create and interpret line plots, bar graphs, and circle graphs. The instructional activity assumes mastery of conversions from fraction to decimal to percent, construction of angles, and at least an introduction to graphs...

Explore how real-world applications can be parabolic in nature and how to find quadratic functions that best fit data. A number of different examples of modeling parabolas are explored including a student scavenger hunt, the exploration...

Students use surveys to explore how to design graphs, tables, and diagrams. They discuss articles which can stimulate ideas for research topics, or surveys of their own.

Jason, Michelle, Sofia, and Willis all have a variety of toys. Use the chart provided to graph how many toys each child has. Who has the most toys? Who has the least? Help your learners study the graphs they create to better understand...

In this bar graph worksheet, students learn how to read bar graphs by using the information in each word problem and making bar graphs with the information to help solve the problems.

Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...

Pupils participate in a WebQuest in which they must determine which amusement park is the "median priced" park. Students visit park websites to accumulate prices for parking, activities, restaurants, and gift shops.

Students collect data about their class and they use Excel spreadsheet to display their tables and graphs about the class. They answer survey questions and collect their data. Students create a graph of their choice to display the...

Skill in using Excel and increasing proficiency in manipulating data are challenged with this data analysis work.  A web link supplies data and step-by-step instructions help learners create a graph.  There are many extension...

In this reflections and symmetry worksheet, students draw lines of symmetry in shapes and patterns and reflect letters over lines in graphs. Students complete 20 problems.

Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze data using a spreadsheet program. They display their data effectively and analyze it.
