Circle Up Your M&Ms

Students sort, classify, and graph M & M's. They create pictographs and bar graphs with the colors and numbers in each bag of M & M's. They calculate the ratio and probability based on class results.

Capture the engagement of your young mathematicians with a collaborative graphing activity. Using a deck of zoo animal picture cards, students select a picture from the deck, record the chosen animal on a graph,...

Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages.  In this organizing data instructional activity, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs.  Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.

Students explore data. They gather data and generate questions about the data in pictographs, tallies, tables, and bar graphs. Students use color tiles pulled by random to create their own bar graph. They discuss the bar graphs they...

This resource includes two useful slides. Slide 1 is a bar chart that shows the number of people who went to the library in a weeks time, for discussion. Slide 2 includes a similar chart along side 10 data analysis questions for learners...

With so many types of graphs, don't let your learners get stuck figuring out which one to use. To track how Zoe spent her allowance, use this interactive lesson to review all the types of graphs and pick the best one to display the data....

Scholars create colorful bar, line, or pie graphs. They decide on a survey question to ask or a type of data to gather. From there, they collect information and data. They display this data in bar, line, or pie graphs that they create...

Demonstrate several ways to represent data with your class. They will use surveys to gather data and display the data using tally charts and graphs. Then answer questions according to the data.

Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...

Young scholars graph the number of items contributed to the food drive. They compare daily results to other days or to an overall goal and answer questions based on the graph.
