Lesson 10 Represent Data Using Picture Graphs and Bar Graphs

    • Let’s make our own picture graphs and bar graphs.

Warm-up Which One Doesn’t Belong: Data

Which one doesn’t belong?

  1. Horizontal Bar graph. Favorite Fruit. Horizontal axis labeled 0 to 9 by 1s. Vertical axis labeled bananas, grapes, oranges, apples. Length of bar: Bananas, 2. Grapes, 9. Oranges, 3. Apples, 6. 
  2. Bar graph. Fruits We Love. Horizontal axis labeled apples, oranges, grapes, bananas. Vertical axis from 0 to 9 by 1s. Height of bar at each category; Apples,6, Oranges, 3. Grapes, 2. Bananas, 9.
  3. Picture Graph. Fruits We Love. Key: one fruit represents one response. Apples, 6. Oranges, 3. Grapes, 2. Bananas, 9.
