Students choose their favorite color Easter Egg (and decorate it too!). Students will collect data using tally marks, then they will organize the data into a representational bar graph. There are simple questions to answer to assess how they analyze the data. Included: Lesson outline, egg pattern, tally boxes, bar graph, questions. CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.C.4 Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how

Survey the class giving them 2 options. (ie: Are you right-handed or left-handed? Do you like Winter or Summer better? Do you like white chocolate or milk chocolate better?). Use tally marks to record each student's response. Transfer that data to this ready-made graph.

The graph is generic enough to use with any 2 choice survey question, but detailed enough to be effective. (There are
