Graphs

Day 1: Picture Graphs

Problem of the Day

■ Trinity ate 38 skittles on Monday, 26 skittles on Tuesday, and 52 skittles on Wednesday. Thawng Tha ate 47 skittles on Monday, 34 skittles on Tuesday, and 27 skittles on Wednesday. How many more skittles did Trinity eat than Thawng Tha?

The Purpose of Graphs

■ What is a graph?■ How are graphs helpful to us?

The Purpose of Graphs

■ Graphs help us organize data.■ Data is a collection of facts, normally in

number form.■ We often see data recorded in a table.

Picture Graphs■ Picture graphs

organize data using pictures.

■ Each picture represents a certain number.

Picture Graphs■ One of the most

important parts of a picture graph is the key. The key tells us what each picture represents.

Picture Graphs■ How many students

are in Mrs. L’s class?

Picture Graphs■ How many students

are in Ms. S’s class?

Picture Graphs■ How many more

students are in Mrs. L’s class than Ms. N’s class?

Picture Graphs■ How many fewer

students does Mrs. J have than Mrs. C?

Picture Graphs■ How many students

are there altogether?

Creating Picture Graphs■ Use this data to create a

picture graph:■ Daniah took a survey of

student’s favorite ice cream flavors. This table shows the data she collected.

Day 2: Bar Graphs

Problem of the Day

■ Mrs. Cinnamon has 5 boxes of cookies. Each box contains 12 cookies. She gave away 3 plates of cookies to her neighbors. Each plate had 15 cookies on it. How many cookies does Mrs. Cinnamon have left?

Bar Graphs

■ �Bar graphs represent data just like picture graphs. However, bar graphs use bars to represent a number instead of pictures.

Bar Graphs

Some bar graphs are horizontal and some are vertical.Which bar graph is vertical? Which is horizontal? Does the information change?

Bar Graphs

■ �Looking at the horizontal axis, how many fruits were used to graph the data?

Bar Graphs

■ �Which fruit is

liked the most?

■ Which

fruit is like the

least?

Bar Graphs

■ How do we read

the value of each

bar?

■ How many people

liked bananas

best?

Discuss as a Team

■ How many more people liked blueberries than oranges?

■ How many more people liked apples than kiwifruits?

■ How many people participated in this survey?

Day 3: Line Plots

Problem of the Day

◼ Malik bought 20 apples. Zollie had 3 times as many apples as Malik. How many apples did the 2 boys have altogether?

Key Vocabulary

Line Plot- A graph that displays data as points above a number line or some other line of characteristics or attributes.

Items to Review

*Show the students a ruler and make sure that they see the inches side. *Review how to measure an object using the inches side of the ruler.

Learning Activity #1: Line Plot Introduction

Watch the video below about line plots and collecting data for a line plot (pause at 3:19 to freeze the line plot). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHCBtKFhV8M

Assessment for Learning Activity #1 (Print out these questions)● How many objects measured 3 inches?● Which 2 measurements had 1 object?● Which measurements had 0 objects?● Which measurement had the most objects? How many?● How many objects measured 4 inches?● How many total objects were measured?● How many more objects measured 4 inches than 3 inches?● HOT (Higher Order Thinking) ?-What if each “X” represented 3 objects?

*Discuss Previous Questions

Learning Activity 2: Creating a Line Plot

Create a line plot using the data from measuring different pens to the nearest half inch (pg. 49 in Common Core Worksheets for All Grade Standards)● Measure each pen to the nearest half inch using a ruler.● Make sure you write the measurement under each pen.● Make an “X” for each pen representing each of the measurements on

the line plot at the bottom of the page.

Assessment for Learning Activity #2

The line plot at the bottom of the pg. 49 in Common Core Worksheets for All Grade Level Standards.

Learning Activity #3: Group Created AssessmentsEveryone in the group needs to make sure that they have the same data plotted on the line plots.

Discuss the data on the line plot.

Create 5 questions as a group using the data from the line plot.

Assessment for Learning Activity #3

Swap questions with another group and answer their questions together (as a group).

Independent Practice

Exit Ticket

Write down on a sticky note something new that you learned today about line plots.
