Goal: Can you make graphs and compare the data?

This data shows how tall students are in a second-grade class. Can you create a tally chart and bar graph to organize this data? You will need this graphing paper , crayons, and a pencil.

46	50	54	48	53	47	48
49	52	50	53	50	46	51
48	52	46	52	48	51	47
47	49	53	50	46	53	50
54	48	53	50	47	52	54

Let’s start making the tally chart. How many students are 46-48 inches tall?

How many students are 49-51 inches tall?

How many students are 52-54 inches tall?

Can you create a bar graph based on your tally chart? Let’s start with the bar above 46-48. Use any color crayon to color in the bar.

Color in the bar above 49-51 using another color crayon.

Finish the bar graph by coloring in the bar above 52-54.

Great job! Let’s look at this bar graph and answer questions about the data.

Height of second graders. 46-48 inches: 13, 49-51 inches: 10, 52-54 inches: 12.

How many students are 49-51 inches tall?

How many students are shorter than 49 inches?

How many students are taller than 51 inches?

How many second graders were measured?

13 + 10 + 12 = ___

Let’s make another graph! Click on the worksheet below.
