T.I.P.S.

  • Lightbulb Students must be able to draw conclusions and make predictions based on the information given in a bar graph or pictograph. Conclusions may be inferred, numerical, written, or comparative. Predictions may be based on patterns within the data, show future trends, or compare sets of data.
