Interpreting Graphs



We have been interpreting and making tally mark graphs during Reading Workshop.
 
On Monday we were presented with the following data.
 

- Two children like spring the best.

- Four children like autumn the best.

- Ten children enjoy summer most of all.

- Eight children like winter the most.

 

We used the data to create the tally mark graphs below.

 


 

 

Students then had to interpret the results of this graph. As a class we discussed:

 

- More kids like summer than the number who like spring

- 2 more students like autumn than the number who like spring

- Spring is the least popular season

- 2 more students like summer than the number who like winter

- Summer is the most popular season
 
 
Today we were presented with two different types of graphs (line graphs and bar graphs). We then answered questions based on the data presented on the graphs.
