Describes an activity on data management and statistics in which students were asked to think of a topic and collect information on it to analyze and represent in graphs. (ASK)

Shares a teacher's stages of selecting and revising a performance-assessment task focusing on data handling. Discusses selection and revision criteria, examining student work, reflecting on the task, and revising the final task. (MKR)

Describes several activities of the Data and Chance program involving third and fourth graders. Students use real-life situations to investigate probability. (MKR)

Examines fourth-grade students' responses to a performance-assessment task in which students are engaged in exploring data. Includes an "Eating Patterns" task. (MKR)

Describes a school project to choose a mascot in which students learned about sampling and polls while collecting, organizing, and analyzing data. (MKR)

Students in grades three to four can collect, analyze, and represent data in order to determine which piece of playground equipment appears most popular. Students in grades five to six can investigate the geometry of playground structures using measurement and scale models. Lesson plans and reproducible worksheets are included. (CMS)

Describes data exploration and graphing based on data in the story "Ten for Dinner" by Jo Ellen Bogart. (MKR)

Suggests ways to translate ideas in the book, "The Story of Z," into data analysis activities in kindergarten and second-grade classrooms. (MKR)

Presents an interdisciplinary unit that integrates mathematics, social studies, and technology to collect and analyze data about the fifty states. (MKR)

Describes situations in which children developed mathematical concepts through processes of sorting and classifying, comparing, measuring, matching with one-to-one correspondence, and enumerating. Data were gathered while observing informal discourse, during sharing sessions, and in a reading session. (MKR)

Describes data analysis activities for grades three through six using unshelled peanuts. Includes two reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

Presents activities that center on the excitement of going back to school by collecting and analyzing data and exploring probabilities. Contains reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)

Describes the data collection and interpretation project of primary grade students involving predicting, graphing, estimating, measuring, number problem construction, problem solving, and probability. (MKR)

Introduces a unit on data analysis which would not only satisfy elementary statistics requirements but also involve students in a long-term mathematics project in a meaningful and relevant way. Addresses the mathematical concepts of measurement, graphing, and computation. (ASK)

Presents activities having to do with data generation, organization, interpretation, representation, drawing conclusions, and making predictions on the basis of data which students have collected. (ASK)
