5th Grade Graphs and Data Book: Scatterplots, Stem and Leaf Plots, and Dot Plots

This SUPER FUN graph and data book covers scatterplots, dot plots, stem and leaf plots and frequency tables and will give your students meaningful, hands-on experience collecting, reporting, graphing and analyzing data!!! Students do fun activities, like seeing how many times they can snap in 10 seconds and then use the data from the class to create scatterplots, dot plots, stem and leaf plots and frequency tables and covers these TEKS: 5.9A, 5.9B, & 5.9C.

Your students will love collecting data, organizing their raw data and then building graphs such as scatterplots, dot plots, and stem and leaf plots. Students remember content that is tied to a meaningful experience, and they will develop a lasting ability to create these important graphs.

This is a No Prep resource. All you need to do is print!

This resource is part of my 5th Grade TEKS aligned Data & Graphs Bundle:

5th Grade TEKS Graphs & Data Bundle

This resource is designed to work seamlessly with these other resources included in the bundle:

Bar Graph Task Cards

TEKS Aligned Exit Slips: Data & Graphs 5.9A, 5.9B, 5.9C

TEKS Aligned Notebook Pages: Data & Graphs 5.9A, 5.9B, 5.9C

Stem-and-Leaf Plot: Hands on Cut & Paste Activity

*****************************************************************************

Students will participate in a series of challenges, such as snapping for 10 seconds, or use survey questions to collect data and then use their peers' data to create graphs. Students will also answer one and multi-step questions about their dot plots, scatterplots, and stem-and-leaf plots. This is a perfect activity to use for introducing or reviewing 5th grade graphs.

I have included a page of questions that go with each graph. There is no key, because the answers depend upon your class data. There are at least two graphing activities for each type of graph. You may choose to do the first activity and question set as a guided lesson and then collect data for the second activity as a class and allow students to complete the second activity with a partner or independently.

Have fun collecting, organizing and displaying data about your class!
