Planning for Weather | Students will utilize temperature and precipitation data to rank locations best suited to host an outdoor celebration honoring Rosa Parks. They will interpret data using tables and graphs and apply knowledge of weather patterns while addressing state and national symbols in this integrated model eliciting activity. |
What Goes Up Must Come Down! | This is a second grade science lesson that incorporates math, science, and engineering as students work in collaborative groups to investigate gravity using real-world situations.
Students will investigate the following problem: How can you design an invention that keeps a balloon in the air instead of letting it be pulled to the ground by gravity? Can you keep your balloon in the air longer than the other teams? |
Bar Graph Exploration | Here's a great introductory lesson to explore creating bar graphs with your students! Students will learn to create vertical bar graphs with a single unit scale using a variety of manipulatives and answer one-step comparison and put together questions using their data displays. |
Graphing Fun | This lesson incorporates collecting, categorizing, and representing data using pictographs and bar graphs. Students will also interpret data represented in these graphs including solving problems. The story Sir Cumference and the Off the Charts Dessert by Cindy Neuschwander is used to interest students in graphing and presents a good opportunity to set up an independent practice activity for students. |
Gummy Graphing | Students will make bar graphs using gummy bears and Skittles! |
Pop, Pop, Pop! | Students will research the effects of sugary drinks on their health. They will interpret data on a variety of beverages presented in the form of bar graphs and decide which beverages should be included in school vending machines to ensure students have healthy drink options. |
Oh Goodie! | Collaboration is key! In this MEA lesson, students will have the opportunity to work in collaborative groups to decide what items to include inside a guest goodie bag. The students will be able to interpret data from a table chart, create a bar graph, present their decisions orally in teams, and write an extension letter.
Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought process. MEAs follow a problem-based, student centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

Setting the Bar: Representing Data Sets | In this lesson, students will use data from an in-class survey, animal pictures, and manipulatives to categorize and display in bar graphs. Students use the graphs to solve addition and subtraction problems about the data. |
Video Game City | This Model Eliciting Activity (MEA) is written at a 2nd grade level. In this MEA students need to help the owner of Video Game City help his customers decide which gaming system best meets their needs. Students can consider the cost of each gaming system in their rankings. In part 2, students will need to add the cost of each gaming system and accessory. Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations.

Graphing Away | In this lesson, students will use a survey question of their choice to collect data and then represent the data on a bar graph with an appropriate title, labels, and a scale of one. Students will write statements to interpret their data. |
Representing and Interpreting Data in a Bar Graph | Students will collect data and represent it using a bar graph with an appropriate title, labels, and scale of one. Students will interpret data by solving simple comparison problems using information presented in a bar graph. |
Fitness Frenzy | In this lesson, students will interpret data represented with tally marks, tables, pictographs, and bar graphs and represent data using pictographs and bar graphs with appropriate titles, labels and units. |
