Comparing Data on Graph A and Graph B

Teaching young mathematicians about collecting and analyzing data allows for a variety of fun and engaging activities. Here, children observe the weather every day for a month, recording their observations in the form of a bar graph....

These four scenarios all contain graphable data; can scholars match them to the correct bar graphs? All the data is in single-digit whole numbers. Some of the scenarios instruct kids to make a graph, while others don't. Clarify...

What do these pictographs show? Scholars analyze three sets of data organized into pictographs, filling in several comprehension questions about each. The first one is done for them as an example, but consider going over it together to...

Everything you need for a mini-unit on bar graphs is included in this lesson plan! It outlines three lessons and includes worksheets. Learners taste pretzels, shoot baskets (switching off hands), and grab candy, graphing results...

Bar and line graphs are an excellent way to visually analyze data: give your scholars practice both analyzing graphs and creating their own! First, they examine five basic bar graphs, indicating the number of squares on specific days....

As your scholars begin to learn how to read graphs, help them pay attention to detail with this matching activity. They read four short data descriptions and match them to one of the four bar graphs pictured. Each graph is labeled along...

Beginning graphers will appreciate this practice with basic bar graphs. For each table of data, there is a corresponding graph for learners to match it to. The five data sets all have the same two...

In this math/nutrition activity, the nutritional value of 3 snack foods is recorded on a data chart and represented on a bar graph. Students analyze and compare information, construct data charts and related bar graphs, and draw...

Learners examine the meaning of data and data collection, represent data in various ways, and make a bar graph.

Get to know your class and teach about data analysis all with the help of Google Docs. Using student-generated questions, create a class survey using Google Forms. Reserve time in the computer lab for learners to complete the form and,...
