Now it is time to make your own pictograph and bar graph. Are
you ready? You will need this
graphing paper , crayons, and a pencil.
Hands-On
First, make your tally chart.
Slide: 1 / 6
Mariana lives in the United States. She asked her
classmates if they like summer, winter, fall, or spring
best. Here is the data Mariana collected:
Each sun represents a student who likes summer best. Can
you add tally marks for each of these students?
11 students prefer summer.
Each snowflake represents a student who likes winter
best. How many tally marks will you make for those
students?
6 students prefer winter.
The leaves represent students who like fall best. How
many tally marks will you make for those students?
5 students prefer fall.
Each raindrop represents a student who likes spring
best. Can you add tally marks for each of these
students?
3 students prefer spring.
Nice work! Your tally chart is done. Now you are ready
to make a pictograph.
Next, make your pictograph.
The title of the pictograph goes at the top. It tells us
what the graph is about. Let’s write
Favorite Seasons on the line at the top of
the graph.
The labels go on the side of the graph. They list the
different seasons in the graph. Let’s write
Summer, Winter,
Fall, Spring.
The symbol and key are at the very bottom of the graph. The
symbol in this pictograph is a diamond. The key tells us how
much each diamond is worth. Let’s make each diamond equal 2
students.
Our tally chart says that 11 students like summer best. Use
a green crayon to draw 5 and a half diamonds next to
Summer.
6 students like winter best. Use a green crayon to draw 3
diamonds next to Winter.
How many students like fall best? Draw those diamonds next
to Fall.
How many students like spring best? Draw those diamonds next
to Spring.
You did it! Your pictograph is complete.
Finally, make your bar graph.
Let’s start with the title. Write
Favorite Seasons at the top of the bar
graph.
Now write the labels at the bottom and the side of the bar
graph. Label the bottom as Seasons and the
side as Number of Students.
Can you write each season to label the bars on the graph?
Use the tally chart to draw bars above each season. Use
different colors of crayons for each bar.
Good job! Your bar graph is complete.
1.
How many more students like summer than like spring?
6
8
9
11 people like summer, and 3 people like spring, so 11 -
3 = 8.
Yes! 11 people like summer, and 3 people like spring, so
11 - 3 = 8.
11 people like summer, and 3 people like spring, so 11 -
