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)

Presents an activity in which students learn how to label graphs in order to make them meaningful. (ASK)

Presents a sequence of activities for teaching concepts of temperature and change of temperature, and linking these concepts to graphical thinking. Offers measurement and graphing activities that use temperature as a common theme for many grade levels. (ASK)

Students have difficulty associating equations of vertical and horizontal lines with their respective graphs. Presents an activity using a TI-82 graphing calculator to eliminate this confusion and to strengthen students' understanding. (ASK)

Many students have difficulties in interpreting position versus time graphs. Presents an activity involving calculator-based motion labs that allows students to bring these graphs to life by turning their own motion into a graph that can be analyzed, investigated, and interpreted in terms of how they actually moved. (ASK)

Presents different real-world mathematics activities on data display and data analysis with pie charts from different time periods. (ASK)

One of the biggest hurdles in teaching statistics is convincing students that the area under curves has anything to do with all the samples, histograms, and various other indicators to which they have been exposed. Presents two examples to illustrate this phenomenon. (ASK)

Active involvement and infusion of mathematics into familiar, everyday experiences are essential elements in challenging students to engage in true thinking. Presents an investigation on graphing that touches on all representations including tables of values, graphs, and verbal descriptions. (ASK)

This book suggests creative, classroom-tested mathematics activities to teach number recognition and counting, number formation, sorting and classification, measuring (including time and date), shapes, graphing, estimating, ordinal positions, money, patterning, tallying, and fractions. Activities are presented in the forms of games, crafts, songs,…

Presents a lesson that uses a motion detector in order for students to experience the interplay between motion and its graphical representation of the slope. Focuses on the change in the appearance of the graph with regard to changing speed. (ASK)

Focuses mainly on a common example in technology-rich mathematics curricula, namely the line of best fit, followed by a discussion of two additional examples, interpolating polynomials and complete graphs. (ASK)

Presents an activity on linear functions that is designed to help students become familiar with the graphs, equations, and tables of these functions while focusing on issues related to cost, revenue, and profit. (ASK)

Describes a process of data collection with young children using the outdoors as a mathematical context. The process of data collection and processing introduces children to more abstract mathematics as they sort and classify data, create graphs, compare datasets, examine patterns, and interpret graphical representations. (ASK)

Uses student reading interests as a context for data collection, and asks them to represent their findings in different ways using tables, bar graphs, pictographs, and pie graphs. (ASK)

Provides a lesson that focuses on three-dimensional graphing, contours, and topographical maps using computer spreadsheets. (ASK)
