Eighth graders, using a range of data, produce three bar graphs for various scales along the y-axis.

Tenth graders use the mathematical program, MATHEMATICA and graph linear and quadratic equations. They sketch the graph of an equation manually. Students compare their sketch with the computer generated model of the graph.

In this geometry worksheet, students explore graphing characteristics. Students complete seven short answer and problem solving questions about graphing and whether or not one can be traced.

Students create charts and graphs using a spreadsheet. They chart the number of each gift given day by day from the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas." They create a bar graph and a circle graph from their data on the spreadsheet.

Sixth graders record the weight of themselves and 3 family over a week, and then use that data to compile 2 bar graphs and 4 line graphs and answer a series of questions.

Students, in groups, create a survey to investigate how much their community knows about birds. They graph their findings using a bar graph. Using the data collected, they develop an advertising campaign to increase community awareness...

Seventh graders collect, organize, and analyze data as they research colleges on the Internet. They graph their collected data on a line graph and use a spreadsheet on Microsoft Excel in order to organize the data.

Students design and create a graph of data they have collected on their favorite candy bars. They explore how to organize data as well.

First graders use a graph to answer questions about the frequency of words. Using rhymes, they fill in a chart about the data they collected. In groups, they use their word wall words to identify them in a book.

Students evaluate word problems.  In this problem solving lesson, students are presented with word problems requiring graphing skills and students work independently to solve.
