Young scholars investigate if gender makes a difference in the classroom. In this statistics lesson, students collect data on whether equity by gender in the classroom makes young scholars more successful.

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Students examine graphs to find the most appropriate for various kinds of data.  In this graphing lesson, student create bar, line and circle graphs.  Students create graphs electronically and manually interpreting the data.

High schoolers locate and access data to help them with their science inquiry.  In this geographical positioning lesson students evaluate and compare data sets. 

In this box-and-whisker plots worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 14 different problems that include comparing various box-and-whisker plots. First, they determine the median for each set of data and plot the lesser range. Then,...

Students explore the concept of climate. They use temperature and precipitation data from their area and other regions to construct climate graphs. These graphs are used to help identify factors that influence climate.

Students complete a writing assignment focused on the use of data to support the theory of plate tectonics. They access data using the "Our Dynamic Planet" CDROM, capture images of the data plots, and incorporate them into their writing. T

Eleventh graders collect data about the state they live in. In this statistics instructional activity, 11th graders collect and analyze data as they compare themselves to students in other states. They analyze data about a person's...

In this excellent stem and leaf plotter worksheet, learners construct, arrange and write a report of how to interpret the leaves they collect in this data analysis. Students answer 4 detailed questions regarding the data analysis...

Students analyze data and form a mental picture of the make up of a gold rush town. They explain social life in a gold rush town. They use online sources to see paintings of camp life and read accounts of miners' lives.

Seventh graders examine the uses of mean, median, and mode. They define key vocabulary terms, observe the teacher model examples of mean, median, and mode, and discuss real world examples of central tendency of sets of data. Students...

Fifth graders interpret data and create graphs. Given Fruit Loops, they sort and classify according to color. Using spreadsheet technology, 5th graders record their data and create bar and circle graphs. Students analyze data and...

Third graders navigate the Internet and research spiders.  In this spider lesson, 3rd graders view photos of spiders and use their characteristics to determine the variety of spider.  Students complete a spider data sheet.

Young scholars are introduced to Frederick Jackson Turner and how early Census data, when combined visually with maps, effectively demonstrated the end of the frontier.

Students work in pairs to measure their arm span and height and record them on a class chart. The class works together to create a scattergram to display the data. Class discussion focuses on interpreting the scattergram.

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Students explore the effects of resistance training on the muscles. Data on the muscle mass of rats is examined is graphed to determine any increase in mass due to training.

Students investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry lesson, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory. They collect...

Learners engage in a lesson that is about the concept of measuring the statistical data of a population taken from a census. The data is interpreted and recorded looking for trends in subjects like world economy and job opportunities.

Students after completing this lesson, identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent; which are dependent. They represent data in a data table and a graph and analyze data and make predictions.

Students investigate a possible health problem in the local school district through inquiry into attendance records, activities, maps, graphs, and data tables. The simulation continues as solutions for the problem are sought.

Third graders graph and analyze data relating to the book "Bunny Cakes" by Rosemary Wells. They listen to and discuss the book, vote on their favorite cake using Excel computer software, and discuss the results.

Students engage in the use of technology to investigate the mathematical concepts of probability and graphing. They use the skills of predicting an outcome to come up with reasonable possibilities. Students also practice using a...
