This 3 part lesson and activities allow you to guide your students through the process of creating double bar graphs (stacked bar graphs). They will be provided with the steps outlining how to display data from a frequency table in a graph using proper sources, scales, titles, and labels. Next, students have the opportunity to be guided through the process of constructing a double bar graph showing the difference between adults’ and teens’ use of social media. Finally, students create a double bar graph comparing the number of Canadian travelers to other countries before and after the start of Covid.

Ontario Math Curriculum Expectations:

D1.2

collect data, using appropriate sampling techniques as needed, to answer questions of interest about a population, and organize the data in relative-frequency tables

D1.3

select from among a variety of graphs, including stacked-bar graphs, the type of graph best suited to represent various sets of data; display the data in the graphs with proper sources, titles, and labels, and appropriate scales; and justify their choice of graphs

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Tips Sheet: This detailed guide will provide you with a breakdown of each part of the lesson.

• Getting Started: Your students will be led through an activity that helps them use a set of data to create a double bar graph.

• Working On It: A cooperative task in which students create a double bar graph comparing adults' and teens' use of social media.

• Exit Ticket: Each student will independently create a double bar graph. This work is used for assessment purposes and allows the teacher to identify common misconceptions or areas of need. It is also a great opportunity for the teacher to provide individualized descriptive feedback.
