We have been working on data analysis and probability. For this activity students were given a chart of all the states in our country and the number of letters in the name. They were able to choose five states and make a graph of their choice from a bar graph, histogram, and pictograph. They were then asked to come up with 4 questions relating to their graph. The questions covered so many different concepts from range, median, mode, to addition, subtraction, and multi-step word problems. (Remember to enlarge the work below, click on the picture)
Maxine chose to do a pictograph using hearts. She asked questions about the range and the mode.

Trey chose to do a bar graph. His questions involved making number sentences to find out the answers.

Payton did a histogram. The histogram is different from a bar graph in one way. The bar graph has spaces in between the bars where a histogram has no spaces.
