Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data instructional activity, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean,...

Fifth graders determine the meaning of mean, median, mode, and range. In this measures of central tendency lesson, 5th graders show their ability to find the mean, median, range, and mode of a data set. They use a class set of birthday...

Students explore the concepts of mean, median, mode, and range as they elicit data about people's favorite flavor of ice cream. A practical application of the data obtained offers an extension to the lesson plan.

Define the terms domain, range, function, vertical limit test, and linear function notation with your class. They can then, graph several equations applying the vertical line test to determine which are and which are not functions, write...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Young scholars use data to make a tally chart and a line plot. They find the maximum, minimum, range, median, and mode of the data. Following the video portion of the lesson plan, students will visit a Web site to test their data...

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....

Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write...

Young scholars explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of...

Students research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode lesson, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Students collect and analyze data finding the range, mean, median...

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.

Fourth graders analyze the song "Home on the Range" and identify its meaning and setting.  In this timeline and retelling lesson, 4th graders use dictionaries to find definitions of unfamiliar words, create a timeline and retell the...

Students collect, organize, and compare different data and develop statistical methods such as: average, median, mode and range as a way for decision making by constructing table

Students relate what they know about boundaries on sports courts to explore range of space. In this domain and range lesson, students identify numbers needed to calculate ranges and use the problem solving strategy of making a table.

Students work in groups to calculate the costs of a trip to Six Flags amusement park. In this domain and range lesson, students calculate the least and greatest amounts of money needed for tickets, food, souvenirs, and airplane tickets.

Learners estimate the number of items in a jar and write their estimate boldly on a piece of paper. They line up holding their numbers. Then, they calculate the median, mean, mode and average of the guesses.

Middle schoolers use their color categorized jelly beans to find the range, mean, median and mode. They use their recorded data documenting how many jelly beans there are for each color in order to calculate the range, mean, median and...

Seventh graders explore the concept of box and whisker plots. In this box and whisker plots lesson, 7th graders plot data on a box and whisker plot. Students discuss the mean, median, and mode of the data. Students discuss range,...

Upper grade and middle schoolers collect data, analyze and interpret the data. This three-part lesson should provide learners with a firm understanding about the differences between mean, median, and mode and how to perform the...

Students complete several games and experiments, tally and graph their results. They figure the mean, median, range and/or average of their graphs to describe class results. They consider which statistic best represents the data at hand.

Engage in the study of quadratic equations as they are used to depict the correct correlations between x and y intercepts. The corresponding picture of the equation is found using various points and must take the form of a parabola. This...

Third graders take notes on a PowerPoint presentation featuring calculating and analyzing data. They practice skills highlighted in the presentation and create a table in Microsoft Excel showing data analysis.
