Look at all the marbles
Now lets look at the graph
How does the graph show how many marbles of each color there
are?

green and 6 white
How can you use the graph to compare the number of each colour
of marble?

 We are going to learn to collect and organize data, make and
compare graphs and describe the data shown in graphs.
Read about Danielle: 10 minutes
- Collected data: favourite colour hats
- How might have Danielle made her list and chart?
- Danielle used a type of graph called a pictograph; she used
symbols to represent each persons choice.
What are the parts of a graph?
- Title
- Category labels
- Symbol for each category (pictograph)
- Legend
Body (35-40
Collect data about classmates favourite colour and create
min)
pictograph.
- Work in groups of 3 to find out everyones favourite colour.
- Tally all of the answers in a chart.
- Create pictograph displaying the data.
*hand out worksheets and allow 10 minutes for data collection*
Individually use the data that you collected to create a pictograph
showing the data. (15 minutes)
- There are 23 Students in the class (if all are here) make sure you
have 23 tallies on your chart (include your own favourite color).

Tell me 2 things your graphs show me.

True or false?
- You can get information quickly from a graph
Closure (10 - You can get the information you want by asking yes or no questions
min) - Any information that can be shown in a pictograph can be shown in
other graphs too.
In this chapter we will learn the math skills to use data collection,
and graphs to answer questions.
