Class Survey Results Bar Graphs

What to review for the Data Management test

Grades 5 and  6

Be able to give examples of each of the three ways we've used to collect data:

1. Observation
2. Survey
3. Experiment

What is the difference between primary and secondary data? Give examples.

Know how to create intervals for tallying data and use them to make a bar graph. Remember:

• all numbers in the set must be included
• numbers cannot be duplicated
• intervals must be equal in size

Grade 5 - Be able to:

• create a broken line graph
• calculate the mean and find the mode of a data set

Grade 6 - Be able to:

• create a line graph
• find the mean and the median of a data set

Collecting and Graphing Primary Data

In Math, we have been learning about collecting data. We know three ways to collect data:

1.  Survey 
2. Experiment 
3. Observation 

We have talked about primary and secondary data. Students wrote their own surveys and collected primary data by asking their classmates their survey questions. Next, we used Microsoft Excel and Word to create bar graphs of our primary data. Here are some examples.

Media and Technology Survey

Ask a friend or family member to complete the Media and Technology Survey that you brought home today.  It will only take them a few minutes. You can read the questions to them if you like. Please return the completed surveys to school on Monday. We will be using the data in our math lesson.

Summer Survey

We found out some interesting things about our class when tallying and graphing the results of the "Summer Survey".  Together, we created the Success Criteria for graphs and referred to it throughout the process. Here are some of the graphs student partners created.
