An average autumn: This lesson will be a review of skills for calculating mean, mode, median, and range of a set of numbers to be created by the students. It will result in a seasonal display for the classroom or school-wide bulletin board.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4–5 Mathematics); By Scott Counce.

Flying Saucers: Circles: Students will apply what they have learned about circles and finding averages with this lesson.
This lesson should be broken up into 3 class periods of an hour for each class.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Mathematics); By Amy Romagnuolo.

Measuring the waters: This lesson plan uses an excerpt from an oral history about measuring flood waters during Hurricane Floyd to teach students about the many ways measurements can be taken. Students are given an opportunity to practice measuring with a variety of tools and evaluate their effectiveness.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Mathematics); By Kristin Post.

Nutritional Value Unit Integrated with Microsoft Works: This unit is an example of how to integrate technology into the curriculum to alleviate teaching it in isolation. Students will use Microsoft Works to compare and analyze nutritional values from nonperishable food items.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4–5 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Gretchen Parrish.

Plotting with Pennies: Students will use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Mathematics); By Nancy Saunders.

Raisins, Raisins, Raisins: This lesson involves students in collecting data,organizing data into a line plot, discussing statistics, calculating mean, medain and mode and consumer awareness.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Mathematics); By Melanie Simmons.

Solar Sizzlers: Group projects of building solar cookers or collectors provide arena for learning about energy sources and transformation. Gathering data for comparison and analysis exercises students' graphing skills and thinking.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Information Skills, English Language Arts, Computer Technology Skills, and Mathematics); By Larry Parker.

Statistics Project: Students collect numeric and non-numeric data. They are then expected to use the data collected to construct different types of graphs as well as finding central tendencies.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5–8 Mathematics); By Audrea Saunders.

Stem and Leaf Hop: The students will measure and record the length of their jumps. The lengths will be used to create a class stem and leaf plot.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Mathematics); By Kathy Sellers.

Teaching Mathematics Through Literature: This lesson is a collaborative pair learning activity which uses the book JUMANJI to teach Probability.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Brenda Davis.

The bread basket: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students conduct a survey and create bar graphs. They compare bar graphs in different orientations and then find the mode of a set of data based on a food court theme.
