Graphs that Represent Data Sets

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

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 expectations before handing this out, or project it as an all-class warm up and complete together. This is a good way to introduce data analysis before having scholars take a survey of their own for a graph. To make this more challenging consider taking away the graphs and simply asking pupils to draw each simple bar graph.
