1. Bar Graph - Enter data to create a bar graph, then manipulate the graph's maximum and minimum values
2. Charts, Tables, and Graphs: Data Interpretation - some things to remember when doing problems based on data interpretation
3. Circle Graph - Enter data categories and the value of each category to create a circle graph (similar to "Pie Chart" but the user can define the data set)
4. Collecting and Analyzing Data - five multiple-choice questions
5. Data Interpretation Games - Numerous activities on using and interpreting data - Activities include bar, pie and line graphs, data collecting and much more
6. Data Interpretation Practice Test - [25 questions] practice reading tables and a variety of charts; column, pie, and pictogram - answers at the end of the test
7. Data Picking - Students collect data, enter tally marks or numbers and then select which graph is appropriate.
8. Fun and Sun Rent-a-Car - students use tables, graphs, linear functions to solve a real-world problem
9. Graphing Skills - What's the point? find the point on the grid
10. Heads I Win - predict the likelihood of tossing heads or tails and graphs the results of coin tosses
11. The Hot Tub - This is a fun activity where students tell the story behind a graph and relate slope to rate of change.
12. Interpreting Data with a Random Ball-Picking Machine - experiment with a random generator at a BBC site to collect data to make decisions about probability.
    1. After you finish working through the ball-picking activity, take a ten-question probability quiz
13. Interpreting Data - multiple choice quiz from Glencoe math [5 questions]
14. Interpreting Line Graphs - explore line graphs.
15. Line Graph Review - explains the advantages and disadvantages of line graphs
16. Magic Bullets: Chemistry vs. Cancer - In this activity students will work with data about cancer deaths. The purpose of the activity is to give students some experience in reading and interpreting graphs. There is a worksheet associated with the data sets [these two expired pages are from the Internet Archive known as the Wayback Machine]
