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.

To be or not to be... linear: The student will determine the correlation between two variables. They will graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane, determine a best fit line, find slope and intercepts, and write the equation of a line. This lesson plan is geared for both 8th grade math and algebra.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Mathematics); By Kyle Gorton.

Introduction to Venn diagrams: Students will learn how to use a Venn diagram to categorize data. This activity is done as an introduction to Venn diagrams.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Mathematics); By Melissa Bancroft.

Collecting and organizing data: In this lesson students will learn to collect data and organize the data into a chart using computer technology.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Computer/Technology Skills, Information Skills, and Mathematics); By Rochelle Mullis.

Discovering Pi: This lesson introduces students to Pi through the discovery method of instruction. Students practice simple measuring skills to discover the relationship between the circumference and diameter of circular objects (Pi).They will be able to use this concept to find the circumference of any circle when the diameter is given.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 and 8 Mathematics); By Betty Shell.

Graphing and measurement go hand-in-hand: Students learn how to use customary measurement using inches or centimeters and data collection and graphing simultaneously. Students will measure the length of their foot, arm span, hand span, or head circumference to the nearest centimeter or inch. Next they will collect and represent their data by constructing a graph.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 Mathematics); By Fran Toledano.

Sorting seeds: This lesson will engage students in manipulating, sorting, counting, and graphing seeds. The students will be involved in the creation of a graph using the computer.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Mathematics); By Mary Jackson.

Graphs galore: This lesson will allow students to conduct surveys from a selected number of people. Then the students will be able to use this data to create various kinds of graphs. After completion of the graphs, they will analyze their data and then draw conclusions from this data.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Computer/Technology Skills and Mathematics); By Alta Allen.

Shells and more: This activity involves identifying objects from the beach using a guide book and then placing the information into a prepared table.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Science); By Shelli Luna.

Geometry and art: Art museum visit: This lesson is the second in a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this lesson students apply their knowledge of geometry by sorting, classifying and counting plane geometric figures during a visit to the art museum to look at and compare twentieth- century paintings. Students then collect data and share what they observe.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–2 Visual Arts Education and Mathematics); By Loretta Hopper.

Easter egg math: Using colored Easter eggs, students will sort by color, count eggs, and graph data.; Format: lesson plan (grade K Mathematics); By Marie Messer.

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 5–6 Mathematics); By Melanie Simmons.

Solid graphing: The students will review solid figures using a baggie of assorted snack mix (cones, cubes, cylinders, and spheres) and will begin a vertical bar graph showing the number of each solid figure in a bag of assorted snack mix.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 Mathematics); By Lisa Fletcher.

A comparison of the plant ecology of two fields: Students will apply random sampling techniques to do a plant population/community/ecosystem study to model how these things are interrelated.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Science); By Linda Sutton.

Graphing the week's temperature: Students will collect data, create a graph, and analyze information about the temperatures for a week using Graph Club Software.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1–2 Mathematics and Science); By Maureen King.

Bouncing ball experiment: In this experiment students should be in groups of 3. Students will drop a ball from different heights and measure the corresponding bounce. Since each group will use a different ball, they will generate different sets of data. They will be asked to discuss and compare their linear function with that of their classmates. They should practice measuring the ball bounce before they begin to collect data.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Mathematics); By alicia jones.

Taking a stride in graphing: This lesson provides hands-on activities for students to use real-life experiences and apply them to graphing.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2–4 Mathematics); By Sandy Brooks.

Watching the weather: In CareerStart lessons: Grade seven, page 3.5; In this lesson for grade seven, students discuss the work that meteorologists do and brainstorm ways to collect data about the weather without using instruments. Students collect weather data over a two-week period.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Science); By Emma Couch.Adapted by Mitzi Talbert.

A mathematical model to describe fluid behavior: Middle school students will learn how to use math to model and predict natural phenomena. Through hands-on labs, students will explore the behavior and effects of fluid in and around objects and organisms. Students will investigate and create fluid transport systems and gather data to calculate natural frequencies. Using scale models to gain a better understanding, they will use data to predict real-life effects on trees and other structures.; Format: lesson plan (multiple pages)

Exploring probability: Through teacher guidance, students will experiment with objects to generate probable outcomes to consider probability.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 and 7 Mathematics); By John Cleveland.
