2. GRAPHS-MAKE YOUR OWN!
In groups of three or four, decide on a topic your group will survey. (ie..favorite pizza topping) After deciding, check with your teacher for approval before going on.

3. Create a survey having one or two on the team go around the classroom to survey each person (including the teacher!) When the data is complete, organize it as a team and record the data in your Math Journals.

Now you will be displaying the information on some type of graph. No bar graphs or line graphs! Come up with a creative way to show your information.

5. GRAPHS
MAKE YOUR OWN!
Record three summary statements about your graph and write three questions that could be answered using your graph data.

6. The Handshake Problem GRAPHS
Let’s suppose you shook hands with everyone in this class. How many handshakes would there be? Act it out in your class, starting with one person and filling in the table on the next slide as you add people.

9. Handshake Table GRAPHS
Do you see a pattern in the table after 10 people in class have shaken hands?
Copy at least two different patterns you see in your journal.
Describe the pattern in words.
Can you predict the number of handshakes there might be for 20 people by using the pattern you found?

18. GRAPHING
A survey shows that 9 people like only ketchup on their hamburger, 4 people like only mustard and 5 people like both ketchup AND mustard. Draw a Venn Diagram in your Math Journal that shows the results of this survey. How many people were in the survey? What if a new person showed up and they didn’t like anything on their hamburger? Where would you put them?

26. GRAPHS
Graphing is a way to present data in a concise and visual way that makes it possible to see relationships in the data more easily.
In order to learn to interpret graphs and use them a a problem solving tool, children benefit from first making their own graphs..
This experience should be provided at all grade levels.
The first activity asks children to go through the whole process of collecting and organizing data, and then a variety of graphs are presented to analyze.
