Organizing Data Using Pictographs & Bar Graphs
T.I.P.S.
Students should be able to use pictographs that have a key symbol equal to more than one, or a bar graph with a scale interval of more than one, to organize up to four categories of data. Students must also be able to create and use these representations to record and communicate their mathematical ideas and thinking.
Example
The table below shows the number of people who went to a movie each night on four nights.
a) Which graph below represents the data in the table?
b) Which graph does not represent the data in the table? Explain your thinking.
