Here is a collection of pattern blocks.
Mai, Noah, and Priya want to make a bar graph to represent the number of triangles, squares, trapezoids, and hexagons in the collection.
Mai says the scale of the bar graph should be 2.
Noah says the scale of the bar graph should be 5.
Priya says the scale of the bar graph should be 10.
Who do you agree with? Explain your reasoning.
Use the scale that you chose to create a scaled bar graph to represent the collection of pattern blocks.
All the third-grade students at school were asked, “What is your favorite time of the year?” Their responses are shown in this table:
Use the data from this table to create a scaled bar graph.
How did you decide on the scale for your graph in the last activity?
What was the most important thing you learned today that will help when you make your next scaled bar graph?
