Extend your students' understanding of data by asking them to consider real-world problems about data collection and graphs.

This hands-on EL Math Lesson will help students develop compare and contrast skills while they think about effective ways to collect data. Use alongside Bar Graphs: Interpreting Data or as a stand-alone lesson.

In this lesson, students will make bar graphs and interpret data using real-life data from other students. They will get practice writing and answering survey questions.

Collect and graph! In this lesson, your students will practice collecting, organizing, and interpreting data by using real life examples.

Support your students as they collect, organize, and discuss measurement data! Use this lesson independently or alongside Making Measurements for Line Plots.

Collecting and graphing data can be a fantastic tool for getting to know your students and for your students to get to know one another! In this lesson, students will poll their classmates to gather data and then graph the results!

Your students will practice data collection and graphing while learning more about each other. Your data scientists will craft a survey question, collect data from the class, and then create a bar graph to represent their findings.

Measure to the nearest quarter-inch with your students and teach them to organize data into a line plot graph using this highly interactive lesson plan!

Students will have a ball with this data collection lesson plan where they learn about collecting and plotting data on a chart and line plot.

Get your students familiar with talking about the data they see in bar graphs. This lesson can stand alone or be used alongside the Organize Your Data lesson.

In this lesson, your students will collect and use real data to create a simple bar graph. They will read a story and visually represent data before finding information on their own.

This engaging math lesson combines all of your kid's fall favorites as they learn to represent data using a bar graph.

What's your favorite fruit? In this lesson, your students will practice important skills by learning to interpret and present data in a visual form.

In this lesson, your students will collect and organize data to make a beautiful bar graph! They will also practice analyzing the graphs with the information they have.

Graphs bring data to life and help us draw conclusions about the information. In this lesson, students will engage with three different kinds of graphs by asking and answering interpretive questions.

Line plots are a great way to introduce your students to graphing data. In this lesson, your students will learn how to create a line plot and also practice interpreting line plots.

In this lesson, your students will use the background knowledge that they have about counting and sorting to graph data. They will practice answering questions about the graph!

Get out the measuring tape and head outside! In this lesson, students gather measurement data and build a model of the school playground.

This lesson provides students with the opportunity to critically think about data. Use this lesson alongside Line Plots: Representing the Length of Classroom Items or as a stand alone lesson.

Subtraction is a lot more than just “take away.” In this lesson, students develop an understanding of subtraction as comparison by creating and interpreting data from bar graphs.

In this lesson, your students will measure the lengths of items and then make a line plot to show the measurement data. They will get hands-on by measuring and surveying the class.

Support your students as they build a foundation in data analysis! Use this as an independent lesson or alongside the lesson entitled What is it Telling me? Creating and Interpreting Line Plots.

Ready to move your feet? Get your students moving with a graphing activity that will knock their socks off! Using a bit of “sole” searching, your students will collect, graph, and interpret data on shoes.

Expressing opinions and graphing data go hand in hand in this lesson on choosing a pet. Dog, cat or fish? Let your students decide! Use alone or with the lesson Graphing a Fruit Survey.

In this hands-on lesson, your students will get to sharpen their measuring skills as they measure lengths of items in your classroom to the nearest quarter inch. They'll get to then use their data to create line plots.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream bar graphs! Students will get the basics of bar graphs down with this lesson that shows how data collection and graph composition works in a classroom setting.

Help your class understand the concept of graphs and charts by holding a scavenger hunt inside your classroom. During this lesson, students gather and create real-world data and graph it.

Take students’ understanding of bar graphs and line plots to the next level. This lesson will encourage students to think about how graphs are designed and the questions we can ask and answer about data presented in graphs.

Geometry meets data in this fun lesson! Students will build a design using pattern blocks and then graph the number of each shape used. This scaffolded EL lesson can be used alone or alongside Graphing Colored Counters.

In this lesson, your students will make healthy choices by sorting healthy and unhealthy foods that they eat daily! Students will learn to sort data by color and many more categories!
