Bar Graphs
There are many different ways to share data with other people. Our favorite way is by graphing it! There are different types of graphs like a picture graph or line plot, but our favorite is the bar graph.
Here are some extremely creative and informative bar graphs we created our selves.
Every bar graph must have the following three things:
1. Title (three labels)
2. Categories
3. Scale
In the bar graph below the title is Favorite Video Games.
This tells us that the graph will give us information about the classes
favorite video games.

Use the sentence frames we made in class to ask the class a question about one of the graphs.

2. Fill out the spaces in our sentence frame with categories and numbers from the graph. Be sure it makes sense! So check your numbers carefully!
3. Ask the class to solve your question.
4. Answer someone's question. Be sure no one else has already answered it.
