Grade:
4-6
Materials
Construction paper of various colors,
markers, scissors, glue
Setup
Draw a chart on the bulletin board for
students to display data from their
surveys. Construct a grid for students to
complete a bar graph. Label the
horizontal axis "Number of
students."
Procedure
Have students make bar graphs to display
information about their class. Divide
students into different groups. Each
group conducts a survey about their
class. For example, the favorite color of
the students in the class, the favorite
sport, the favorite subject, and so on.
Students record their data in the chart.
Then they cut and paste appropriate
lengths of color strips to represent the
data. Groups take turns displaying the
results of their survey on the bulletin
board. Extend the activity by having
students conduct surveys about the
students in the school.
