Middle schoolers will collect data from class using surveys. Students survey classmates concerning favorite movies, favorite color, shoe size, time spent studying, brand of cell phone and etc. From the data they will create bar graphs using an Illuminations website. Middle schoolers will post printed bar graphs on the word wall as examples of bar graphs. They will discuss bar graph results to class. Students will find data for their own school and draw a bar graph. Middle schoolers can use any data that is provided for their own school. For example, data can be organized to graph students per grade in their own school.
