Fourth Grade

1. "Represent and Solve Problems for Given Data"
   1. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
      On this an interactive site, students can collect statistical information/data to analize and graph.
   2. Accessing and Investigating Data Using the World Wide Web
      Data sets available on the Internet are valuable resources for studying real data to address questions that interest students. Teachers and students can download data sets from the web, collaborate in online data-collection projects, and search electronic libraries and data files. Grade 3 - 5
   3. Algorithms and Ice Cream For All
      In this activity, a graph is used to represent the map of a city. The problem that is explained in the story is easy to understand, but, surprisingly, there is no simple, staightforward way to solve it. Students will find themselves experimenting with a variety of approaches.
   4. Area Probability - Throw Darts!
      Outstanding - This site includes student-based activities in collecting data, testing, and predicting outcomes using variables, by throwing either 100 or 1000 darts (electronically) at a changeable dart board. Also has a link to lesson plans for the teacher, accessed through free sign-up/membership. Activities address several standards and benchmarks.
   5. Aunty Math's Daily Math Problem
      This is a student activity site that features a daily math challenge for K-5 learners. Students are given a problem to solve and the basic information needed to solve; the student collects and organizes the data, solves the problem, and can email the solution to Aunty Math. Also has past challenges available for students to solve.
   6. Best Weather - Math Webquest
      This is a complete webquest of math activities revolving around the collection of weather data from various locations to determine, based upon the data, the best city to live in. A very student-oriented activity, should make for an interesting class project and introduction to webquests. Meets the criteria for Standards 1,2, and 3, with many of their required benchmarks.
   7. Coin Toss
      This site offers a lesson plan using coin tosses to collect, record, and analyze data; variables are introduced to facilitate predicting and inferring. Very simple site, but effective.
   8. Create a Graph
      This interactive site explains four different kinds of graphs.  The students also have the opportunity make their own graphs on this site.
   9. Creepy Class Creatures
      Students survey their classmates to find their favorite creepy creature and construct a bar graph of the responses. They could then present and explain the graph to their classmates. Teacher lesson plan only.
   10. Data Analysis, Probability, and Discrete Math
       This is an interactive site that has activities for working with coordinates and graphing for K-5.
   11. Elementary Test Prep: Bar Graphs New
       Students are taken through a set of questions where they must read and interpret bar graphs.
   12. Graphing, Data Collections and Coordinate Points
       This site provides information about the kinds of graphs. It offers sites to complete graphs with information given. There are interactive sites where the answers you give help you to complete a graph.
   13. Illuminations
       This site provides a lesson plan on collecting data and creating graphs based on eye color. It provides activity sheet, student questions, assessment options, extensions, and teacher reflection questions. Labeled a lower elementary activity but can be easily adapted for upper elementary.
   14. Illuminations
       This site provides a unit of 7 lessons of students collecting data and creating graphs based on vegetables. It provides activity sheets, student questions, assessment options, extensions, and teacher reflection questions.
   15. Learn NC
       This is an activity to use after students are familiar with creating stem-leaf plots. In the activity Plotting with Pennies, students will use pennies to gather data, organize and order data, graph the data on a stem-and-leaf plot, and evaluate the range, median, and mode of the data. This lesson plan does not provide activity sheet for collecting data.
   16. Let's Do Math!
       This site is interactive for students with real world problem-solving.  The problem works through the process: collect, organize, and present data.  They do the problems on the computer or try it on their own.
   17. Let's Graph
       On this interactive site, students to can solve, change and design a math problem.
   18. M&M's; Line Plots and Graphing
       Outstanding - Very interesting site with both teacher lesson plans, student activities, and a variety of data recording forms to explore data collection, organization, and presentation of colors of M & M's in individual bags. Originally part of an Internet data collection project, it can be used as a stand-alone set of activities.
   19. Marvelous M & M Survey
       This is a teacher lesson plan outlining the use of M & M's to predict what color is prominent in each package, and then graphing the results. Results can be posted to an Internet Project page.
