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.

See how they run!: The 100 meter dash: Middle level students will collect times as they run the 100 meter dash. These times will be depicted through various graphic representations (bar, circle, histogram). Times will be compared to current world records for the 100 meters. Students will decide which Math class ran fastest and support that choice in short essay form. They will also try to determine the faster gender based on the data collected.

This lesson plan is a unit filled with related lesson plans. One or two parts of this project could be completed as a stand-alone lesson, or the entire set of activities and extensions could be completed for an involved, integrated unit.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Holly Smith.

Human box and whisker plot: Students will learn how to construct box and whisker plots as they actively participate in being a part of one based upon their heights. As an extension of the lesson, students will learn how to interpret a graph of this type.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7–8 Mathematics); By Nikki Honeycutt.

Good medicine: Students will examine changes in technology, medicine, and health that took place in North Carolina between 1870 and 1930 and construct products and ideas which demonstrate understanding of how these changes impacted people living in North Carolina at that time. To achieve these goals, students will employ the eight intelligences of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies); By Leslie Ramsey.

ACC basketball: The students will use ACC basketball statistics to practice the process of converting fractions to decimals then to percents and will learn how to create and edit a spreadsheet. They will then use this spreadsheet to analyze their data. This unit is done during the basketball season.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Susan Dougherty.

Wrapping it up: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students finalize their work collecting data, identifying patterns, and making predictions about the game of Paper Pool. They then write a report that summarizes all of their findings. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Which pocket?: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students continue their investigation of the Paper Pool game by discovering a rule to predict the pocket in which the ball will land.

Whale Weight: Students work with data to complete an organized chart for the purpose of transferring information to a graph or for the purpose of generalizing a rule. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 7–8 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Taking its toll: In this Illuminations lesson, students compare the price of a toll to the distance traveled. Students investigate data numerically and graphically to determine the per-mile charge, and they predict the cost if a new tollbooth were added along the route.
