Overview

This classroom resource provides a video that introduces bar graphs and how they can be used to analyze data. The vocabulary words vertical and horizontal will be introduced. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 2

MA19.2.16

Create a picture graph and bar graph to represent data with up to four categories.

UP:MA19.2.16

Vocabulary

  • Pictographs
  • Venn diagrams
  • Yes/no charts
  • Bar graphs

Knowledge

Students know:
  • strategies for collecting, organizing, and recording data.
  • strategies for counting and comparing quantities.
  • strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • choose and apply appropriate strategies for organizing and recording data.
  • read and interpret graphical representations (pictographs and bar graphs) of data.
  • communicate and defend solutions and solution paths.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • questions concerning mathematical contexts can be answered by collecting and organizing data on pictographs and bar graphs.
Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 3

MA19.3.16

For a given or collected set of data, create a scaled (one-to-many) picture graph and scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories.

UP:MA19.3.16

Vocabulary

  • Data set
  • Scale
  • Picture graph
  • Scaled bar graph
  • Category
  • Probability

Knowledge

Students know:
  • Strategies for collecting, organizing, and recording data in picture graphs and bar graphs.
  • Describe and interpret data on picture and bar graphs.
  • Strategies for solving addition and subtraction one-And two-step problems.

Skills

Students are able to:
  • Collect and categorize data to display graphically.
  • Draw a scaled picture graph (with scales other than 1) to represent a data set with several categories.
  • Draw a scaled bar graph (with scales other than 1) to represent a data set with several categories.
  • Determine simple probability from a context that includes a picture.
    Example: A bar graph displays data to represent students' favorite colors with data showing 4 students choose red, 11 students choose blue, 2 students choose green, and 4 students choose purple. If Jamal is a student in the class, what do you think his favorite color might be? Why?
  • Solve one-And two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled graphs.

Understanding

Students understand that:
  • Questions concerning mathematical contexts can be answered by collecting and organizing data scaled pictographs and bar graphs.
  • Understand that logical reasoning and connections between representations provide justifications for solutions.
