What do you notice? What do you wonder?

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.

1. Who do you agree with? Explain your reasoning.

2. Use the scale that you chose to create a scaled bar graph to represent the collection.

   

All the third-grade students at a school were asked, “What is your favorite season?” Their responses are shown in this table.

Use the data from the table to create a scaled bar graph.
