Description

Students will brainstorm topics they could use to create a survey and bar graph. They will then pick one of the topics and create a survey. After creating a survey they will collect data from classmates. When they have collected data in a tally chart, they will make a bar graph. There are also pages in which students need to write questions that can be answered using their bar graph and then space for students to solve the questions for an answer sheet. My students had a lot of fun with this activity.

This project can be used individually, with partners, or as a small group depending on your students and your classroom preferences.

*Updated version includes a modeled version of the project

Great value

My class worked in pairs to complete this lesson. They absolutely loved being able to make their own choice of a topic, develop options, collect the data, create a graph, and questions! They were engaged the whole time. My only little suggestions is to change the font for the labels on the boxes. It makes it difficult to read for some kids.

My students loved using this to demonstrate their knowledge of bar graphs! I paired this with other resources and made a graphing packet to make an end of a unit assessment. They loved having control over their questions and gathering the data.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph.
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
