How is it possible to organize infomation so that it is easier to read and interpret?
Over the next few days, we will focus on three types of graphs:
bar graphs, line graphs, and pictographs.

Day One~
Bar Graphs: Step One
A bar graph is most useful to organize data that can be counted. Information is displayed as rectangular bars in a bar graph. Take a minute to view examples of bar graphs with your group. Can you think of an example of when it would be appropriate to organize data into a bar graph?

Websites: Step Two
At the following websites, you will be working with bar graphs. Timekeepers should allow 5 minutes for each game.
Kids Have Pets
Interpreting Data
Graphing Marbles
Cyber Chase

Small Groups: Step Three
Group One will meet with Ms. Hart to practice reading and interpreting bar graphs.
Group Two will meet with Mrs. Blythe to practice (2)creating bar graphs using (1)previously collected data. We will rotate after about 20 minutes.

Day Two~
Pictographs:Step One
A pictograph uses pictures or symbols to represent an assigned amount of data. It takes the form of a bar graph. The key for a pictograph tells the number that each picture or symbol represents. Let's take a look at an example of a pictograph.

Websites: Step Two
Work with your group members to answer questions from this pictograph. Don't cheat...you'll show that you know how to read a pictograph in step three small groups!

Small Groups: Step Three
Group one will meet with Mrs. Blythe to practice creating a pictograph using previously collected data. Group two will meet with Ms. Hart to practice reading and interpreting pictographs. We will rotate after about 20 minutes.

Day Three~
Center One:
Each of you will be given a special Valentine's treat. Once you receive your "treat", sort the candies based on color and create a tally chart to display your findings. Using your totals, each of you will create a bar graph and a pictograph using The Graph Club. Print your completed graphs and answer the questions on the board based on your findings. Turn your work into the basket.
